Building a Personal AI Agent: From Packets to Prompts (Step-by-Step)
This post walks through how I built a personal knowledge AI agent that answers questions about my professional career, grounded entirely on me (my resume, certifications, interviews, blog posts). Along the way, I’ll trace the path of a prompt from user input to AI response, just like I used to trace packets through a network stack. Continue reading
Oracle Acceleron AI Networking on OCI — Explained
When you’ve spent a career in networking as I did at Cisco designing global service provider backbones and architecting massively scalable enterprise data-centers, you start to appreciate the art of engineering trade-offs.The subtle details behind ASIC design, optical signaling, and network hops can make-or-break stringent performance tolerances; they can also directly influence business outcomes. That’s why, for me, one of the most significant announcements at Oracle AI World wasn’t about GPUs, it was about networking. Specifically, Oracle’s Acceleron fabric, the new backbone of OCI’s AI infrastructure. Continue readingHow to Build a Serverless Image Analysis Pipeline on OCI
This guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough for building a complete, serverless image analysis pipeline on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). You’ll learn how to deploy a containerized web app that saves uploaded images to Object Storage, automatically triggering an event-driven serverless Function. This function then leverages the OCI Vision AI service to perform object detection, ultimately storing the resulting JSON metadata in an Oracle Autonomous Database to create a powerful, end-to-end workflow that transforms raw images into structured, analyzable data.

An OCI VisionAI Service and Cloud-navtive Pipeline
Migrating Serverless Applications to OCI: End-to-End AI Vision Pipeline I’ve been working on this project for some time, and I’m excited to finally share it with you. This post also serves as a preview of my upcoming session at Oracle CloudWorld / AI World — Strategies for Migrating Serverless Applications to OCI [SHO1222] — where I’ll be co-presenting with my colleagues Tom Moore and Shadai Williams on October 15th 2025. Continue readingLinkedin: OCI Operationalizes NVIDIA Blackwell
OCI is bringing NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 systems to life with APIs and orchestration that make the world’s largest AI/ML clusters usable, elastic, and available across public, dedicated, and sovereign clouds.
Internet of Agents (Advanced Concepts + Use Cases)
Satya Nadella, in a recent discussion, dropped a bombshell: traditional SaaS applications, as we know them, might eventually collapse under the transformative power of AI agents. This isn’t just incremental change; it’s a potential paradigm shift. As we navigate the burgeoning Internet of Agents, a critical question arises: Will these powerful autonomous entities be confined to rigid, vertical software stacks, tightly bound to enterprise data, and thus siloed? Or will they break free, becoming fluidly distributed to perform tasks across an intricate enterprise ecosystem? Continue reading
Internet of Agents: What It Is & Why It Matters for Enterprise AI
The digital landscape is on the verge of another major transformation, moving beyond connected devices (IoT) and interconnected services (the web) towards an Internet of Agents (IoA). Imagine a world where potentially billions of specialized AI agents, developed by different organizations, can discover, communicate, collaborate, and transact autonomously to solve complex problems and automate intricate workflows.
