AI projects

Agentic AI operations – production IT ops through governed agents

The big one: the majority of my routine work now executes through AI agents (Claude Code, Codex, Ollama, Opencode) under a governance model I built – dedicated least-privilege identity, JIT elevation, read-only by default, human sign-off on anything privileged.

AI RAG assistant – from PDF chaos to AI clarity

Four full rewrites of the same app: Pinecone that wouldn’t retrieve, Docker that wouldn’t run, and finally a CLI tool I actually use – full story on the blog.

AI-assisted Azure monitoring stack (“AI SlopOps”)

A working Azure monitoring stack built almost entirely through conversations with Claude – including the hard-earned lessons about context loss and debugging loops. Write-up on the blog.
