• Containerize and pipeline test infra through Docker and GitLab CI, keeping it reproducible and environment-agnostic (AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes where relevant)

AI Tooling

• Design and build centralised MCP gateway. Enabling the MCP server to expose internal tools and data sources to AI agents in a controlled, auditable way

• Implement authentication, authorization, and access scoping for agentic workflows and MCP gateway

• Build agentic graph workflows including multi-agents setups with PydanticAI agents and tools
