AI Infrastructure and Model Deployment
Built and tested local and cloud-style AI workflows using Docker, CUDA environments, Kubernetes, model serving, GPU workstations, and scalable inference patterns.
Jam-Live LLC • 2020 to Present
Building advanced AI, immersive software, and visual technology from research to working product.
Mark McKenzie is the CEO of Jam-Live LLC and a hands-on technical founder with 25+ years of experience across artificial intelligence, XR, Unity, real-time 3D systems, DICOM medical imaging, and production software. His work blends engineering depth with visual storytelling: AI infrastructure, virtual try-on technology, generative video, dataset creation, GPU workflows, Kubernetes deployments, and interactive Unity experiences. He evaluates APIs, software systems, and business ideas with both qualitative and quantitative judgment, and is strongest when turning complex technical systems into clear product stories through visuals, demos, and direct communication.
Professional Summary
Senior software engineer, CEO, and technical leader with a rare ability to connect research, architecture, code, graphics, infrastructure, and product delivery. Mark has built systems across AI, mixed reality, gaming, entertainment, and medical software, including co-founder and CTO roles, volume-rendering patent work, and principal development of software that reached FDA approval. He is strongest where projects require invention: turning complex ideas into working systems, debugging difficult pipelines, optimizing performance, and making advanced technology understandable through compelling visual demonstrations.
This portfolio is designed to be more than a resume. It presents the story of a builder who can design the AI pipeline, train or evaluate models, create the datasets, deploy the infrastructure, build the Unity experience, and produce the visuals needed to explain the result clearly.
