03 / HOW I WORK

Systems thinking.
Hands-on engineering.

My work sits at the intersection of platform engineering, reliability, and applied AI.

I bring a systems and networking foundation to cloud engineering: understand the failure modes, make the platform observable, and build tools that make developers more effective. My recent focus is putting multi-agent systems to work in production operations—with grounding, verification, and security built into the workflow.

Full professional profile
01

Platform & cloud

Designing reliable Kubernetes platforms, cloud infrastructure, and developer tooling.

02

AI systems & operations

Building agentic workflows that connect models, tools, knowledge, and production operations.

03

Engineering & reliability

Improving delivery, observability, incident response, and service resilience.

ENGINEERING PRINCIPLES

Build trust into the platform.

01 / DEVELOPER EXPERIENCE

Platform as a product

Prioritize developer ergonomics and self-service. Make the supported path easy to discover, adopt, and operate.

02 / RESPONSIBLE AUTOMATION

Grounded & defensible AI

Require evidence provenance, sandboxed tools, and human verification for consequential actions. Escalate when the evidence is insufficient.

03 / OPERATIONAL CONTINUITY

Zero-downtime modernization

Aim for continuity through incremental changes, observable rollout gates, and a rollback plan. Evolve systems pragmatically, as with ZooKeeper-to-KRaft modernization.

× Credit Karma · Incident response

Multi-agent incident debugger

Problem

Platform responders had to reconstruct incidents from code changes, documentation, telemetry, cloud signals, and pager activity spread across separate systems.

My contribution

Designed the investigation flow so specialized agents could gather domain evidence in parallel and return it as a grounded root-cause narrative.

Architecture decision

I chose specialized agents with a final evidence-synthesis step instead of one generalist agent. The alternative was simpler to operate, but it mixed retrieval and reasoning across unrelated systems. Separate agents kept each investigation grounded in its source, while synthesis could cite and compare their evidence.

ADR 01 · Specialized agents with evidence synthesis

Portfolio decision summary

Alternative considered

A single generalist agent offers a simpler operating model, but mixes retrieval and reasoning across unrelated systems.

Trade-offs & consequences

Separate domain agents keep evidence tied to its source. Final synthesis must preserve provenance and reconcile conflicting signals.

Operating constraints

The workflow needs to preserve evidence provenance, avoid premature conclusions, and make the result useful during time-sensitive incident response.

Outcome ~35% lower MTTR for platform incidents.

× Intuit · Developer support

AI-powered Slack support

Problem

Support requests arrived in Slack without consistent routing, service context, or an immediate path to the right runbook.

My contribution

Engineered an assistant that identifies intent, retrieves relevant knowledge and context, and returns verified guidance before a human handoff when needed.

Architecture decision

I used intent-based routing before retrieval rather than searching every source for every question. A single broad retrieval path was easier to build, but it returned noisier context and made evaluation less precise. Routing first narrowed the source set, improving relevance and making unsupported requests safer to escalate.

ADR 02 · Route intent before retrieval

Portfolio decision summary

Alternative considered

Searching every source for each question is easier to build, but returns noisier context and makes evaluation less precise.

Trade-offs & consequences

Routing narrows the source set. Unsupported intents need an explicit escalation path, and each route needs evaluation.

Operating constraints

Guidance must be grounded in current knowledge, traceable for evaluation, and safe to escalate when the assistant cannot resolve the request.

Outcome ~40% less support triage time for cloud support requests.

× Intuit · Platform engineering

Shared AgentOps operations layer

Problem

A large microservices estate needs consistent support workflows while keeping service ownership and operational context clear to individual teams.

My contribution

Architected shared AgentOps infrastructure for routing, service context, policy, telemetry, and auditable operational actions.

Architecture decision

I built a shared control plane for common context and policy instead of a centralized remediation service. Centralizing every action promised tighter consistency, but would have obscured team ownership and created a bottleneck. The control plane standardizes discovery, guardrails, and audit while each service retains its operational decisions.

ADR 03 · Shared context, distributed ownership

Portfolio decision summary

Alternative considered

A centralized remediation service promises consistency, but risks becoming a bottleneck and obscuring service ownership.

Trade-offs & consequences

Share discovery, policy, and audit infrastructure while keeping operational decisions with service teams.

Operating constraints

The platform must scale across independent services, preserve team context, and provide a common operational path without centralizing every decision.

Outcome Shared cloud support workflow scope across 1,000+ developer microservices.
