Matthew Pruitt | Technical Program Manager & AI Solutions Architect

About Me

Building the Future of Technology

I'm a Senior Technical Program Manager and AI Solutions Architect with over 15 years of experience driving enterprise-scale technology programs for Fortune 500 companies and federal agencies. My passion lies at the intersection of cutting-edge AI/ML technologies and mission-critical systems that make a real difference.

Most recently at Amazon Web Services, I led the European Sovereign Cloud region build, orchestrating 780+ component services across 50+ engineering teams. Prior to AWS, I spent a decade delivering biometric and identity systems for the Department of Homeland Security, FBI, Department of Defense, and US Postal Service.

Currently pursuing a Doctor of Engineering in AI/ML at George Washington University, where I'm deepening my expertise in LLMs, agentic AI, and responsible AI systems.
