I build autonomous AI that acts on infrastructure — with a human at the gate.
I design and operate the platforms that let AI agents and ML models run in production without anyone losing control of them: approval gates, scoped RBAC, model registries, replay and audit trails. I came to it the unusual way round — nearly nine years in enterprise IT and network operations, six of them as IT and network administrator of a combined-cycle power plant of more than 1,000 MW, where there is no staging environment and a bad change measures in megawatts, then a PhD in high-performance computing.
Proof of work
ExaMLOps — production MLOps platform for HPC
My role: architect and lead developer.
| Problem | Sixteen partners on a EuroHPC consortium each needed to train, version, govern and serve models on a Tier-0 supercomputer — with no shared platform to do it on. |
| What I built | An end-to-end MLOps platform: a partner registers a model, the platform trains, versions, governs and serves it, behind a sysadmin approval gate. |

KubeIntellect — a human-governed AI SRE for Kubernetes
My role: creator and first author of the peer-reviewed paper.
| Problem | Diagnosing a live Kubernetes fault means correlating kubectl, Prometheus and Loki by hand under time pressure — and any tool that fixes it automatically is a tool nobody will run in production. |
| What I built | Ask the cluster a question in plain English. It gathers live evidence, works out what is actually wrong, and executes the remediation — pausing for explicit human approval before it changes anything. |

That it acts, behind a gate, is the whole point — it is what separates it from a chat window next to a terminal. The shipping implementation is a LangGraph supervisor with PostgreSQL checkpoints that works from live kubectl, Helm, Prometheus and Loki evidence, routing every mutating action through human approval. The published architecture went further still — a code-generator agent that wrote and validated new tools at runtime; that was evaluated in the paper and deliberately dropped when the system was simplified for production.

AOBench — evaluation and permission infrastructure for AI agents
My role: creator.
| Problem | Agent benchmarks score whether the answer looked correct. In operations, an agent that reaches the right answer by exceeding its permissions has failed. |
| What I built | A role-aware, permission-enforced benchmark for LLM agents doing real HPC operations work: a policy violation hard-fails the task, however correct the output. |

Hold a key, speak, release — speech-to-text runs on your own CPU and the words are typed into whatever window has focus. Works on Wayland, where most dictation tools silently fail. | Apache-2.0 · cross-platform · built in the open by outside contributors, good first issues tagged · measured accuracy, published method | Python, faster-whisper, Linux/macOS/Windows |

| idkmesh | Verified coordination for human + AI teams: work is split into bounded units, every completed candidate goes through independent verification, and only verified evidence gets integrated — never a worker's self-report.

Two ways to work with me
Hiring for AI Platform · Agentic Systems · MLOps/LLMOps · Kubernetes/OpenShift? Based in Italy; available for remote roles across Europe and internationally, with working-hour overlap by arrangement (Europe/Rome, CET/CEST). Background and experience on LinkedIn — or email mohsen@mskazemi.com.
Need a consulting engagement or an audit? Three areas, each starting with a fixed-price audit so you can see the work before committing to a project:
- Kubernetes reliability & AIOps — health-checks, observability, hardening, incident root-cause analysis
- MLOps & ML in production — registry, serving, drift detection, governed retraining, monitoring
- Production LLM agents — tool boundaries, scoped RBAC, human-in-the-loop safety, tracing, audit trails
→ Engagements, rates and how it works
