Rohit Shukla
Agentic AI Engineer

Hello, my name
is Rohit Shukla

Seven years of distributed systems engineering at Dell and Optum, now applied to agentic AI - multi-agent orchestration, MCP servers, and RAG pipelines. Currently independent: open to Forward Deployed Engineer work, and building my own ideas.

Projects

Multi-agent orchestration

Infrastructure platform

Built a multi-agent system that unifies management of heterogeneous infrastructure behind one natural-language interface - cutting provisioning time roughly 13× with human-in-the-loop approval on every action.

MCP server

Enterprise MCP server

The first MCP server for a major enterprise storage platform - mapping its API into narrow, composable tools with fail-safe defaults, so it was safe to expose to autonomous agents.

Unifying infrastructure management with a multi-agent platform

The problem

Infrastructure teams managed storage and virtualization platforms through separate, vendor-specific consoles - each with its own interface and approval chain. Provisioning one resource meant switching between three or four tools, a source of both delay and human error.

What I built

A multi-agent platform that unifies management behind a single natural-language interface: a coordinating agent delegates to platform-specific sub-agents, each translating intent into API calls.

  • Central orchestrator + sub-agents - new platforms plug in without touching existing integrations
  • Human-in-the-loop approval on every state-changing action
  • RBAC enforced at the agent layer, not bolted on afterward
  • A from-scratch MCP server where no existing integration offered enough control
Outcome

Provisioning time dropped roughly 13× versus manual, multi-console operation - with every action still audited and approved.

What I learned

The hardest part wasn't the orchestration - it was the approval layer. Agentic systems touching real infrastructure need guardrails built with the same rigor as the automation itself.

MCP server · Tool integration

Building an MCP server from scratch for an undocumented enterprise API

The problem

Model Context Protocol was new enough that no MCP server existed yet for a major enterprise storage platform's management API - every agentic workflow needed brittle, one-off integration code.

What I built

The first MCP server for the platform, mapping its REST API into MCP-compatible tools, and handling auth, error states, and rate limits so it was safe to expose to autonomous agents.

  • Narrow, composable tools instead of one broad "do anything" tool
  • Fail-safe defaults - destructive actions require explicit confirmation
  • Schema-first design, treating the server as a contract
Outcome

Became the integration layer for the orchestration platform above - and cut future integration work for that platform to near zero.

What I learned

Designing for an agent consumer is different from designing for a human developer. Errors need to be reasoning-friendly, not just technically accurate.

About me

I'm currently exploring product ideas in the agentic AI space - no name yet, just a clear direction and six years of distributed systems experience behind it. I recently left full-time employment at Dell to work independently: as a Forward Deployed Engineer for select clients, and building on my own.

If you're solving similar problems, or want to think out loud together, I'd like to hear from you.
