ML inference architecture, applied to agent systems.

Sean Fraser / ML Inference Architecture

More than two decades in networking and security, now applied to inference serving, agent infrastructure, and the controls that keep those systems dependable.

About this work

This site began as a place to dissect complex cloud and security technologies for practitioners. It now sits inside a broader technical practice spanning ML inference architecture, agent infrastructure, observability, policy enforcement, open models, networking, and security.

The aim remains practical: connect architecture to evidence, explain tradeoffs plainly, and leave behind work that another operator can inspect.

Working domains

Areas of expertise

  1. 01

    ML inference architecture

    Serving paths, memory, scheduling, and the limits that decide whether a request meets its objective.

  2. 02

    Agent infrastructure

    Identity, control, and the path an agent takes in production.

  3. 03

    Observability

    What the system did, from traces and operator evidence.

  4. 04

    Policy enforcement

    What an agent may reach, and the boundary around that reach.

  5. 05

    Open and local models

    Models you can run, inspect, and serve yourself.

  6. 06

    Networking and security

    Paths, failure surfaces, and the controls that keep the rest dependable.
