What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build safe automation, AI agent platforms, and resilient cloud or blockchain infrastructure where security, reliability, and high-stakes operational outcomes matter.

At kpk, I built the internal Slack-native AI agent platform used daily by engineering, connecting 15+ production tools including GitHub, GCP, Kubernetes, Cloudflare, Tenderly, and Etherscan.

I also built kpk-sign to decode and simulate Safe multi-sig transactions before signing, helping protect a DeFi treasury network that has executed 10,000+ on-chain transactions with zero funds lost. I run 8,000+ Gnosis Chain validators, RPC and archive nodes, and the monitoring and tested disaster-recovery systems behind them.

I own endpoint, access, Cloudflare, GitHub organisation, and private-key security across a fully remote company. Previously, I delivered Kubernetes, cloud, CI/CD, GitOps, and blockchain infrastructure work at Skycoin, independently, and at Tata Consultancy Services.
