Selected work

Technical case notes
Oracle OCI · GPU infrastructure

Reliability below the application layer.

Long-running probing agents that detect and surface low-level GPU infrastructure issues. Designed and deployed as part of AI compute infrastructure work.

Read the case noteClose the case note
Context & contribution

A clearer view of infrastructure health.

The setting

AI compute infrastructure at Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

What I owned

Design and deployment of long-running probing agents for low-level GPU infrastructure issues.

The systems lens

Issue visibility, reliability and operational diagnosis beneath the application layer.

Related work

Architected, shipped and managed a multi-agent orchestration harness for high-priority internal system transitions. Current work also includes developing a GPU-validation control plane.

Amazon · Distributed services

Modernize the service. Own its operation.

Core service redesign, migration to JDK 17 and a detailed migration process for service and data-access layers, alongside operational responsibility in ReCommerce.
