Personal Blog - Not your regular, Hello World! :) I build the infrastructure that makes software reliable — and I'm bringing that rigor to AI.

I love brainstorming and would love to explore what ideas you are working on. Let's connect:

• Credential Sentinel: An Agent That Reads Widely and Acts Narrowly

  Updated: 2 Jul, 2026

  How I built Credential Sentinel, a LangGraph AI agent that finds the credentials nobody is rotating and walks them to a safe, human-approved rotation. A look under the hood at the resumable state machine, the real TLS handshake, delayed-revoke cutovers, automatic rollback, and a cross-run memory.

• Deploying an AI Agent: How I Shipped Credential Sentinel to Production

  2 Jul, 2026

  How I deployed Credential Sentinel, my LangGraph AI agent, from local development to a live production URL. The infrastructure story: multi-stage Docker builds, Kubernetes with GPU nodes, a one-line vLLM swap, Prometheus, and Fly.io.

• Building the Agent Was the Easy Half. The Evaluation Wasn't.

  30 Jun, 2026

  How I evaluated my own AI agent: a 50-case golden dataset scored with code and an LLM-as-judge in LangSmith, plus the security regression I caught. The story of taking Credential Sentinel from a 0.976 composite score to a clean 1.0.

• The Model War Is a Distraction. The Real Fight Is the Agent Runtime Layer.

  17 May, 2026

  Why the AI model race is a distraction and the real fight is the agent runtime layer. It is the infrastructure that decides which companies build durable AI systems and which spend the next two years rearchitecting.

• How LogIQ Was Born From a Silent VM Bug

  16 May, 2026

  How a silent VM bug that only failed after the 20th machine led me to build LogIQ, an AI tool for on-call debugging. It correlates Splunk, Jira, and customer logs into one investigation flow.

• The AI Didn't Go Rogue. The Architecture Let It.

  16 May, 2026

  A SaaS startup lost its production database in 9 seconds to an AI agent, and the real cause was not the AI but the architecture around it. A look at blast radius, over-scoped credentials, and backups that share a failure domain.
