Autonomous CI/CD: Letting an Agent Triage the Build Without Letting It Ship

Mobile release engineering is mostly the same six failures on repeat — a provisioning profile, a Gradle version, a flaky simulator. That is exactly the shape of work an agent is good at, provided you are ruthless about which half of the pipeline it can touch.

Context Window Engineering: Compaction, Retrieval and Why Long Sessions Degrade

A million-token window did not solve the problem, it moved it. Attention is not uniform, irrelevant context actively costs accuracy, and the skill that matters now is deciding what an agent is allowed to see.

Hardening Agent Sandboxes: MicroVMs, gVisor and WebAssembly for Untrusted Code

An AI agent running shell commands is an arbitrary code execution primitive you installed on purpose. Here is the isolation ladder — container, gVisor, Firecracker, WebAssembly — what each one actually stops, and what it costs per sandbox.

Deterministic Multi-Agent Orchestration: Escaping the Infinite ReAct Loop

Autonomous coding agents fail in a predictable way: context poisoning inside a freeform reason-act loop. The fix is not a better prompt — it is a finite state machine with programmatic gates, scoped tool access per phase, and automatic rollback.
