Cloud, platform & AI engineering

I build the infrastructure that makes AI useful in production: RAG pipelines, agents connected to real systems, and the cloud platforms that keep them secure, observable and cost-effective.

My career spans more than a decade of cloud and operations engineering across AWS, Google Cloud and OCI. This is where I share the work, the decisions and what I learn along the way.

AI

From models to production.

RAG, AI agents, MCP, retrieval evaluation and MLOps. My focus is dependable AI infrastructure, with grounding, security and inference costs treated as engineering requirements.

DevOps

Make delivery repeatable.

Infrastructure as code, GitOps and CI/CD that help teams deploy with confidence. Automated policy checks and operational feedback keep delivery connected to production.
