James Ding

Data Platform & Applied AI Engineer

I build production data platforms and applied-AI systems end-to-end. At AirSprint I designed and stood up the entire platform solo — the warehouse, the AWS infrastructure under it, the internal AI agent platform, and the API layer its apps run on — in production for ~400 people. MDSA, University of Calgary. I build AI systems, and I build with them: one engineer with good agents ships like a team now, and I'm the proof.

The Proof

One builder. All of it in production.

The data platform I designed and stood up at AirSprint — every box below is a live system I provisioned, built, and operate. Serving ~400 people daily.
