A decade of production systems, and the research built alongside them.

Memory, observability, governance, orchestration, and evaluation for autonomous AI systems.

BlockOps Network — Remote, part-time

• Designing and operating blockchain infrastructure across public-cloud and customer-managed environments, with repeatable provisioning and lifecycle automation.
• Building a self-service platform for organizations to deploy models and inference workloads on cloud or privately managed GPU infrastructure.
• Working on model serving, isolation, observability and deployment assurance while studying inference-runtime and GPU-memory behavior beneath the platform.

Techbots / Agent Rails, independent AI systems research

• Researching and building infrastructure for autonomous AI agents in production environments.
• Advising platform teams on agentic AI architecture, security, and operational readiness.

Exodus Movement — Remote (US)

• Led platform engineering across five production EKS clusters and the wider AWS estate supporting wallet and blockchain services used by millions, where downtime risks user funds, not just uptime SLAs.
• Owned Cilium adoption, upgrades, network policy, connectivity troubleshooting, and production incident response across the Kubernetes estate.
• Designed and built the company's Kubernetes GitOps platform and production delivery model on ArgoCD ApplicationSets and AppProjects, establishing team and environment boundaries, fail-closed promotion controls, and the platform governance and self-service model that let 10+ product teams own their own deployments.
• Migrated 35+ services across development, staging and production onto that platform with no customer-facing downtime, working directly with engineering teams through migration and adoption.
• Managed production AWS infrastructure across RDS, Lambda, API Gateway, ECS, EC2, IAM/KMS, networking, load balancers, and supporting services.
• Operated stateful infrastructure across Bitcoin, Solana, Polkadot, EVM, Cosmos, Cardano, Monero, and other blockchain networks, including public and private testnets, upgrades, recovery, and RPC failover.
• Built self-healing infrastructure for stateful blockchain nodes, including volume-aware recovery and multi-replica scaling.
• Led production on-call, incident coordination, postmortems, and follow-up automation; one cascading failure review protected 46+ production applications with a chart-level guard.

Centricity Inc — New York, United States

• Built and operated AWS and Kubernetes infrastructure, Terraform-based multi-environment provisioning, observability, secrets management, and CI/CD.
• Improved application reliability by migrating workloads from Lambda to ECS Fargate, and supported event-driven architectures using Lambda, SQS, and EventBridge.

Nautilus Technologies — part-time

• Led DevOps and engineering initiatives across cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, automation, security, and production operations, while supporting architecture decisions and engineering delivery across the team.

MainOne Cable

• On-prem to AWS/Azure migrations, disaster-recovery strategy, and hybrid networking.

Swift Networks

• Point-to-point/multipoint wireless design and Cisco routing and switching, the networking foundation the research arc builds on.

RANC Limited

• Built the systems and operations foundation that led into network engineering, cloud platforms, and distributed infrastructure.

Policy-as-code boundary at the tool-call seam, so an agent can't run an action policy forbids, and every attempt is audited.

Cryptographically-verifiable delegated authority across orgs with no shared secret, spun out of Agent Guard for cross-org trust.

Self-hostable agent memory that resolves contradictions at write time, because vector recall alone can't tell truth from similarity.

OS-level security daemon for crypto infrastructure. Alerts before a compromised key reaches the chain, not after.
