About John Welborn
I build high-trust engineering teams and ship reliable software at scale leveraging AI as a force-multiplier. I created AgentMap, an open-source framework that simplifies building agentic AI workflows, to make it easier and faster to get from idea to prototype in minutes, not days.My background spans startups to enterprise (healthcare, fintech, SaaS). I’ve led 70+ engineers across multiple programs, guided cloud migrations on AWS/Azure/GCP with near-zero downtime, and integrated AI into real products—improving throughput, decision quality, and developer experience.What I’m known for- Translating strategy into delivery (clear goals, tight feedback loops, measurable outcomes)- Practical AI: RAG and agentic patterns (LangGraph/LangChain) embedded in workflows and tooling- Pragmatic architecture: event-driven, microservices, modern data platforms, observability, SLOs- Servant leadership: hiring well, setting values, mentoring senior/staff engineers, build a workplace where the best want to be.Keywords: Agentic AI, LangGraph, RAG, LLM Ops, Software Delivery, SRE/SLOs, Cloud Architecture, Team Topologies, ODD, LangChain
