The six areas
Agentic Engineering
AI agents doing real engineering work inside a governed loop. Turbo Flow's 60+ agents evolved into Turbo Rig's builder/reviewer/reserve lanes — 4.21B tokens in a measured week.
Platform Engineering
Platform as product: Terraform module libraries, golden paths, multi-cloud at ConstructConnect. Certified Platform Engineering Practitioner.
Production AI
AI that ships and stays up: Ancuria is a production bilingual SaaS with AI features, billing and multi-tenancy — not a demo.
Linux Infrastructure
14 years (2012–present) from 15,000-instance environments to hardened fleets. Technical reviewer of both editions of Packt's "Mastering Linux Administration."
Cloud Platforms
AWS, GCP and Azure in production since 2015. 200+ workload migrations, a Terraform module library that cut provisioning time 50%, 99.9%-uptime Kubernetes.
Agent Governance
The discipline that makes agentic engineering safe: cross-family review gates, fail-closed verdicts, worktree isolation, human merge authority. 868 independent gate verdicts in one measured week.
