Forward-Deployed AI Delivery
Embed with the team, find high-friction human work, connect agents to the right data and tools, and deliver a useful workflow with evidence, runbooks, rollback and clear ownership.
- K8s × AI architecture across platforms, agents and operational workflows
- GitOps pull-based platform and application delivery

Governed Agent Integration
Give agents controlled, read-only access to policy, compliance, database and triage data so people can monitor, interrogate and resolve issues faster, while humans approve any change to systems or data.
Kubernetes Platform Engineering
Secure foundations across lifecycle, networking, storage, identity, policy, GitOps, observability and operational readiness—portable across enterprise Kubernetes environments.
Contract & Fractional Engagements
Start with one bounded outcome.
English-speaking, remote-first consulting for platform teams and organisations integrating AI into existing operational workflows. Scope, authority and acceptance evidence are agreed before delivery begins.
Kubernetes + AI Readiness
Workflow inventory, platform constraints, data and authority boundaries, risk register and a practical 90-day roadmap.
Output: evidence-led architecture and prioritised delivery plan.
Governed AI Integration
One bounded, low-risk enterprise workflow with controlled tools, evaluation, observability, explicit human approval and a production adoption runbook.
Output: working reference pattern and acceptance receipt.
Kubernetes Security & GitOps
Review identity, policy, network exposure, delivery controls, secrets, observability, rollback and operational ownership.
Output: technical evidence bundle and executive findings.
Proof points
Four sanitized case studies that distinguish architecture, implementation and runtime evidence.
Kubernetes + Governed AI Integration
A live Kubernetes-based agentic platform operating across a managed cluster fleet, with kagent and agentgateway supporting governed agent integration, auditable activity, clear permission controls and human approval for system or data changes.
- Live cluster fleet — production Kubernetes clusters provide the shared agentic platform used by customers and internal teams.
- Bring your agent — platform customers can onboard their own agents and products through governed integration patterns.
- Forward-deployed enablement — teams across the investment bank are helped to turn operational problems into agentic workflows and integrate them onto the platform.
- Production controls — unauthorised agent requests are blocked before restricted tools can run or systems can be changed, while approved activity remains traceable.
GitOps Platform Factory
Replaced sequential push pipelines with a pull-based, operator-managed fleet model spanning Azure infrastructure, platform services, policy and self-service application onboarding.
Read the Sanitized Case Study →Policy Compliance Agent Integration
A governed, read-only agent integration over policy-compliance data, allowing people to monitor posture and interrogate the underlying records with traceable evidence and bounded access.
Read the Sanitized Case Study →Digital Commerce Operations
End-to-end product delivery spanning authentication, CI/CD, payments, orders, inventory, monitoring and owner-operated fulfilment, supported by fail-before-mutation checkout controls.
Read the Sanitized Case Study →Pattern: Git is the source of truth, agents draft, humans approve, everything is auditable.
