Charles Pinnix

VP Sr Lead Software Engineer | AI Engineering & Product Leadership

Summary

Senior engineering leader with 15+ years delivering high-impact digital products across large organizations and startups. Currently at JP Morgan Chase as a VP-level engineer, building front-end and full-stack applications for two AI-powered products — an intelligent news platform and an enterprise speech-to-text application. My background spans front-end architecture, full-stack delivery, UX design, and product collaboration, giving me the range to work effectively across disciplines and communicate credibly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. I'm drawn to large enterprise environments: the organizational complexity, the scale of impact, and the challenge of shipping AI products inside institutions with real stakes are the problems I find most interesting.
