I build the secure, scalable platforms that production agentic AI systems run on. 20+ years across telecommunications and banking — currently building petabyte-scale cloud platforms and writing LangChain agents, MCP integrations, and AI-powered automation on top of them.
A two-minute production experiment ruled out 31 detection rules as the cause of a CPU saturation, without redeploying or shipping new code. The pattern is one CLI flag per expensive subsystem. This post is about the discipline that pays for itself the first time you need to bisect under fire.
Six lessons from one saturation incident, all about how to keep agent velocity without paying for it in production fires.
A clean install recipe for WhisperWriter on Windows 11
How to use Google NotebookLM effectively for studying technical material — audio overviews, focus prompts, source management, and proven workflows from education researchers and power users.
A practical guide to PlantUML, D2, and Excalidraw — when each tool beats Mermaid, how to control layouts, and how to embed diagrams in your blog with dark/light theme support.
How to use draw.io MCP and mcp-mermaid to generate architecture diagrams, flowcharts, and sequence diagrams from natural language prompts — and embed them directly in your blog or documentation.
