Builder.
Thinker.
Trader.

I build platforms by day, analyse markets by night, and occasionally write code that surprises me. This is my corner of the internet.

A little about me
The person behind the screen

I lead platform engineering teams at a global financial institution — but the work I find most alive happens outside the org chart. Building tools that solve real problems, understanding how markets move, and learning fast in public.

The F&O dashboard started as a way to understand options data better. The AI agent project is how I stay sharp on where technology is headed. Neither was planned — both taught me more than any course.

Outside work, I'm a husband, a father to a curious toddler, and someone who thinks the best ideas come from doing, not just reading about doing.

F&O Market Agent

An Agentic AI that queries live options data, reasons about market structure and delivers a morning briefing. A proper LLM with tools — not just a chatbot. This is how I'm learning what Agentic AI actually means in practice.

Ludo for Two

My wife and I like to play Ludo over breakfast. Every app we tried was buried in ads. So I built one — no ads, no accounts, just the game. Sometimes the best reason to build something is the simplest one.

Generative AI & Agentic AI
in Platform Engineering

Generative AI

Modern infrastructure teams are leveraging Gen AI to automate runbook generation, accelerate incident triage, and synthesize monitoring signals — reducing MTTR and freeing engineers for higher-order work.

Agentic AI

Agentic AI systems autonomously execute multi-step IT workflows — from auto-remediation in SRE pipelines to intelligent provisioning of cloud resources — enabling truly self-healing infrastructure at scale.

Infrastructure As AI Code

Combining IaC principles with AI-driven code generation accelerates deployment velocity, reduces configuration drift, and enables policy-as-code enforcement across hybrid cloud environments.

Platform Reliability & AI Ops

AIOps platforms use ML to correlate alerts, predict failures before they surface, and intelligently route escalations — aligning well with the SRE model and platform engineering disciplines.
