Shlama,
I won't call myself an expert, but I will simply say that the pronoun "he" is implied. The text simply says "I am." I tend to translate literally and try to stay away from theological bias or personal interpretation. However, others here will likely be able to provide more of a background on the use of this particular phrase.
