Resume -- John Pearson

Overview

Senior software engineer focused on agentic AI systems and fast, reliable delivery • Built a Claude Code agent swarm (100+ specialized subagents) that coordinates work in parallel and routinely compresses multi-week efforts into a single day • Built AI-powered internal tools for non-technical teammates: a protocol risk analyzer and person risk analyzer accessible via Slack, and a Kanban board backed by an MCP server that lets non-engineers file issues directly into the agent swarm • Open-source core swarm: github.com/johnpphd/Web3-Claude (production swarm extends this foundation)
