I'm a strong believer in leveraging AI to supercharge the software development process. I actively integrate AI coding assistants, autonomous agents, and innovative tooling into my daily workflow:
- 🧠 AI Coding Assistants – Pair programming with LLMs for faster, higher-quality code
- 🔗 MCP Servers – Building and using Model Context Protocol integrations
- 🤖 Autonomous Agents – Experimenting with agentic workflows for complex tasks
- ⚡ Developer Productivity – Always exploring tools that make engineers more effective
Languages: Java • Go • Bash • Python
Cloud & Infra: Kubernetes • Kong • Prometheus • Helm
Operators: Kubebuilder • Custom Controllers
