Subhash Kumar

Programmer analyst. Built software for whoever walked in the door — printers, perfume makers, financial firms, coaching classes, car-rental agencies. Visual Basic, FoxPro, SQL, and a lot of listening.

Enterprise consulting for European government and industry: document management, .NET, and a thirty-application portfolio that taught me estimation the hard way.

Team-lead years: audit reporting systems and insurance platforms. Where I learned that trust in a system is built from its reports — and that reliability was a discipline before it had a name.

Solutions architect for a very large UK retail estate. Architectural governance, migrations measured in millions, technology roadmaps that occasionally survived contact with reality — and a client hackathon won with an IoT build.

DevOps architect for a national-scale estate. Pipelines in Azure DevOps, infrastructure written down in Terraform instead of clicked into existence, monitoring wired into ServiceNow — the plumbing autonomous operations would later stand on.

The pivot. From keeping big systems boring — the highest compliment in SRE — to teaching them to fix themselves: LLMs and agentic AI, governed by policy, watched by telemetry.

Built an adaptive learning engine in public: knowledge graphs, AI-graded recall, spaced repetition. Learning agentic engineering the way I'd architect it — systematically.

Physics, University of Mumbai. Microsoft-certified across three decades — first in 2000, most recently on Azure. The tools change; the habit doesn't.
