Platform & Infrastructure Engineer working in banking sector, focused on Kubernetes, enterprise storage (NetApp, CEPH), and Cloud (AWS, GCP). I build agentic AI systems for real infrastructure workflows where the constraints are compliance, audit trails, and legacy systems, not clean greenfield demos. I write about developer experience and tooling from that vantage point: what agentic AI, MCP tooling, and automation actually look like inside a regulated environment, not just in a polished tutorial.
