Who I Am
Hi all — I'm Chris, the AI Monk.
I'm here to take you on a technological journey, but also an existential one. My answers won't always be the ones you're looking for — we'll do wax on, wax off activities, and I'll be brutally honest with feedback.
The goal? Ship faster today, build systems that compound tomorrow. We're not just solving problems — we're creating AI infrastructure that accelerates everything you do, turning weeks into days, and "impossible" into "done."
For over 15 years, I've built scalable, human-centered technologies at the intersection of creativity and machine learning.
Today, I'm pioneering vibe coding — a discipline that fuses emotional resonance, intuitive design, and generative AI into immersive, human-centered experiences.
What AI Says
I asked ChatGPT: "tell me again about me, Chris Johnston, professionally"
Through its memory feature, ChatGPT has developed a deep understanding of my work and approach over many conversations. Here's an excerpt from its response:

Podcasting: Infinite Attraction
Chris co-founded Infinite Attraction (@infiniteattraction) at the height of the Miami Tech movement, capturing the city's transformation post-pandemic. The show evolved from documenting Miami's tech boom to exploring broader tech and web3 topics, all recorded live at Jolt Radio. Infinite Attraction became a platform for authentic stories and voices shaping the future of tech in Miami and beyond.
Listen to "The Melting Ice Cube" featuring former MLS player Kieran Gibbs and TradeStation's James Putra as they discuss the Web3 future and the importance of sound money.

Two-minute AI Tip #6: Pitching the GovernmentPhilosophy
Most people are afraid that AI is coming for their jobs.
We don't run from that — we cut to the front of the line.
Except here, the intelligence will be working for us, not replacing us.
This dream of symbiotic AI is closer than people think — and I help clients bring it into their work today, building systems that deliver amplified creativity, radical efficiency, and new opportunities for innovation.
The future isn't man versus machine.
It's man amplified by machine — and it starts right now.
Vision & Future Work
- Expanding Creative Horizons — pushing the boundaries of design with AI as a co-creator.
- Accelerating Innovation — creating workflows that are faster, smarter, and more creative.
- Shaping Future Experiences — building systems where intelligence flows naturally alongside human creativity.
- Keeping Technology Human-Centered — ensuring that AI always amplifies ingenuity rather than replacing it.
Through vibe coding, multi-agent collaboration, and generative system architecture, I'm building a future where intelligence is felt, not just computed.
