Jonathan Korstad, CPWA

Senior Accessibility Analyst & AI Engineer building scalable intelligent systems and bridging the gap between digital accessibility and artificial intelligence.

About Me

I am a results-driven AI Engineer with expertise in developing scalable AI agents and tools for automation, infrastructure management, and large-scale data processing. My work focuses on building intelligent systems using deep reinforcement learning and frameworks like LangChain and Smolagents to streamline operations and resolve complex queries.

Currently, I serve as a Senior Accessibility Analyst and AI Software Engineer at Visa, where I lead global design and engineering teams to integrate accessibility into the product lifecycle. I bridge the gap between technical engineering and user-centric design.

With a background spanning technology, healthcare, and construction, I bring a unique, cross-functional perspective to solving complex problems. I am also the proud founder of Kynda Coffee, where my entrepreneurial spirit meets my passion for specialty coffee.
