AI Apparatus: An Open Marketplace for AI Agent Skills and MCP Servers
Introducing ai-apparatus, a fork-friendly marketplace for sharing IDE skills and MCP servers across Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other AI coding agents.
Platform engineer
GS Singh
Resilient, automated, cost-aware platforms: security-first IaC and golden paths that cover people and agents — scoped access, sandboxes, and gates so agent-aided work stays reviewed, audited, and bounded on the path to prod.

- ~10y platform / cloud-native work — drift prevention, delivery rails, and proactive reliability
- Golden paths for people and agents: scoped tools, sandboxes, policy gates
- Inference-aware ops: quotas, cost signals, reliability when load is bursty or non-deterministic

About
I’m a platform engineer and DevOps/SRE practitioner focused on architecture and operations staying aligned as stacks evolve: observability, conventions, and release discipline that prevent drift before it becomes an outage.
I extend golden paths to agentic and AI-assisted work (RBAC-bound access, sandboxes, gates) and favor one delivery bar for application and ML-shaped workloads — with GPU- and quota-aware Kubernetes where teams run inference. Open to roles that value agent-safe platforms and pragmatic enablement.

Nov 2021 — Present
Cloud / Platform Engineer · AI enablement
Pathfactory (acquired Uberflip) · B2B martech · Canada
One continuous tenure: joined Uberflip; Pathfactory acquired Uberflip — same platform remit throughout. AWS architecture and operations, incident response and proactive reliability, and stack modernization including EKS and Aurora migrations and performance work (internal platform metrics). AI enabler for engineering: practical AI-assisted workflows with agent-safe guardrails—scoped access, review, and policy—so teams move fast while agent and human changes to prod stay audited and scoped.
