Kiran Krishna

Senior AI engineer & agentic systems architect.

I'm Kiran Krishna, a Melbourne-based senior AI engineer and AWS architect with over a decade of experience across enterprise software, cloud platforms, transport, rail, and public-sector technology.

My current work focuses on production-grade agentic AI: systems that use tools, coordinate specialist agents, preserve auditability, respect approval boundaries, and operate within real enterprise constraints.

I've also architected cloud-native AWS platforms, industrial software systems, and automation patterns for complex, highly regulated environments. Outside work, I build personal AI systems, open-source agent tooling, and learning resources that help me test emerging patterns before applying them in enterprise delivery.

Platforms, agents & systems

Government · enterprise2025 — present

Agent Platform

An enterprise agentic AI platform: a reusable, governed agent runtime that separates the agent layer from domain skills, so business areas automate document-heavy, governance-sensitive workflows on shared infrastructure — with orchestration, traceability, guardrails, and human oversight built in.

Personal AI Lab

Where I test agent patterns end to end. Jarvis OS — a local-first personal AI operating system routing a primary agent to specialists, with memory and approval-gated tools. AgentCouncil — an open-source Claude Code MCP plugin for structured multi-agent deliberation.

AWS Landing Zone Implementation

A secure, multi-account AWS foundation on Control Tower and Landing Zone Accelerator — centralized networking and auditing, standardized guardrails and governance, SSO + CyberArk via IAM Identity Center, and SOC/SIEM security monitoring — giving teams a governed, compliant platform to build on.

IoT Application Development

Cloud-native industrial-IoT applications on AWS for rolling-stock and locomotive health: real-time, fleet-wide health monitoring, an image ingestion & search system for fault analysis, and streaming sensor analytics across edge and cloud — serving global rail operators.
