Consulting Portfolio

Lawrence Johnson — Verification-First Systems Architect

I build proof-driven platforms that blend distributed systems, AI orchestration, and formal verification. Skilled in Python/FastAPI, TypeScript/Next.js, PostgreSQL optimization, and cloud-native delivery.

Architecture Highlights

Distributed Microservices

FastAPI + Celery workers with PostgreSQL, Redis, MinIO

6 services, 11 API routers, 738-line CLI

AI Agent Orchestration

Hub-and-spoke agent system with logic + retrieval spokes

8 agent types, neurosymbolic + neuromorphic

Formal Verification Pipeline

Lean 4 proof assistant (Mathlib 4.15.0) via HTTP API

Mathematical proof validation and correctness checking

CI/CD & Automation

GitHub Actions for automated resource ingestion

Weekly automated imports, schema validation

Cloud-Native Deployment

Multi-cloud deployment with Vercel, Render, Neon, and Kubernetes

Production-grade infrastructure and container orchestration

Knowledge Pipeline

Automated ingestion → ontology classification → API-served content

11 categories, confidence scoring

Testing

  • pytest + fixtures
  • In-memory SQLite tests
  • Mock external services
  • Coverage reporting

DevOps

  • Docker Compose
  • GitHub Actions CI
  • Render auto-deploy
  • Health monitoring

Security

  • Firebase Auth
  • Environment secrets
  • Input validation
  • CodeQL scanning

Let's Build Something

Looking for roles where I can own complex systems end-to-end — from formal verification pipelines to production deployment at scale.
