About Tyson van Patten

AI/ML Solutions Architect and Engineering Leader with over 20 years of intelligence leadership, 10 years delivering data driven systems and AI/ML integrations, and the past year advancing agentic AI architectures into production. I specialize in building secure, cloud-native AI ecosystems that bridge machine learning, data engineering, and enterprise operations to deliver mission aligned outcomes at scale.I lead the design and deployment of AI-native platforms in AWS GovCloud, integrating FastAPI, Airflow, MLflow, React, and Terraform to create FedRAMP High aligned, modular AI microservices. My work centers on:• Multi-agent orchestration and autonomous systems merging geospatial, environmental, and operational data with LLM driven reasoning for realtime situational awareness.• Document intelligence and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines using Bedrock (Claude, LLaMA, Titan) and open source models for multiprovider orchestration and knowledge retrieval.• AI/ML data pipelines for ingestion, translation, NLP, and knowledge discovery built for auditability, transparency, and lifecycle observability.I focus on transforming research and prototypes into production environments, enabling organizations to scale secure, sustainable AI deployments. Experienced in MLOps, multi-cloud integration, and schema driven interoperability (MCP methodology), I design systems that unify data, models, and governance under reusable AI frameworks.My leadership foundation comes from two decades as a U.S. Army Intelligence Warrant Officer, where I led analytic modernization, data-driven training, and emerging technology integration across global operations. I bring that same clarity, structure, and mission focus to my current work mentoring engineers, guiding cross-functional teams, and advising senior leaders on building trusted, enterprise ready AI capabilities.
