Senior/Staff Backend & Agentic AI Engineer | Java · Kafka · Kubernetes/OpenShift | LangGraph · MCP · RAG | Building production agent infrastructure & telecom-scale billing platforms

About

I build production backend systems and the agent infrastructure that runs on top of them. Over 9 years I've engineered telecom-scale, real-time billing platforms — Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, and Kubernetes/OpenShift — designed for reliability under heavy throughput. Today I'm a tech lead on the Agentic Offering for Digital BSS billing, shipping a governed, zero-code agent platform: a foundation SDK, OpenAPI→MCP conversion, versioned RAG with citations, and RBAC guardrails in production. I also build in the open. I created Eventore (a multi-protocol streaming console for Kafka, Pulsar, RabbitMQ, MQTT, JMS, Kinesis, Pub/Sub and Service Bus, with an MCP server for agents), LangStitch (a visual LangGraph IDE), and Meridian (a local-first AI career agent) — and I wrote the Agent Engineering Framework, a 10-pillar guide to production agents that's been cited 35 times. What I care about: fault-tolerant distributed systems, clean trade-offs on scale and failure, and treating agents as a systems problem — a deterministic envelope around a probabilistic core. Core stack: Java · Spring Boot · Python · Kafka · Kubernetes · OpenShift · Helm · LangGraph · MCP · RAG · system design · AWS/Azure/GCP. Always happy to talk backend architecture, event-driven systems, and agent infrastructure.
