About

Hi, I'm John Hwang. Here, I write about my thoughts on the practical challenges of creating and selling AI to enterprise.

I have worn many hats across product, engineering, and go-to-market. Previously, I was a Generative AI Architect at AWS, and a product manager at Alexa, where I led the Alexa Developer Experience, VUIs, and in-car Alexa experiences. Prior to that, I was a full stack engineer at multiple AI startups.

In a past life, I spent 7 years as a quantitative derivatives trader at Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, where I was the head of VIX Index trading. I hold a BS in Computer Science from Stanford University.

I love to write and teach. I am the founder and host of AI / ML Meetup Miami. In 2019, I was Adjunct Lecturer at University of Washington, where I taught server-side engineering for two semesters.
