Senior Software Engineer | DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure | AI/ML Enthusiast

Portfolio • GitHub • LinkedIn

👋 Hey there

Hey there! I’m Joel Hanson, a Software Engineer at IBM, currently immersed in leveraging event streams for smarter data-driven insights. Previously an AI Engineer at Impress.ai, I’m passionate about making AI more user-friendly for everyone—transitioning from batch to real-time machine learning and evolving architectures from request-driven to event-driven.

  • 🔭 Currently writing a [blog on building an MCP server for Kafka](https://joel-hanson.github.io/ and exploring event-driven data platforms.
  • 🌱 Continuously learning about distributed systems, Kubernetes operators, and emerging AI frameworks.
  • 💬 Ask me about Kafka, Kubernetes, Terraform, or Python best practices.
