• Build agents and tools integrated with Terraform, Kubernetes, Argo CD/GitOps, cloud APIs, CI/CD, API gateways, Kafka, Redis, databases, and observability systems.
• Accelerate platform development through AI-supported module and chart creation, code review, infrastructure-plan interpretation, testing, dependency analysis, and safe pull requests.
• Develop day-two agents for health and drift detection, incident triage, diagnostics, root-cause hypotheses, capacity analysis, upgrade readiness, runbook assistance, and recovery verification.
• Implement controlled workflows from read-only diagnosis through recommendations, gated changes, and policy-authorized execution.
• Partner with security, SRE/CloudOps, and platform teams; coach engineers and measure adoption, cycle time, toil reduction, diagnostic lead time, quality, safe automation, and reliability.
