Adrian Wilson

Agentic Engineering & Platform Architecture

I help teams build the structure around AI agents — harnesses, context engineering, MCP integrations, and the guardrails that make autonomous systems safe to ship.

What I Do

Agentic Engineering

Designing how agents interact with your platform — tool discovery, permission models, write operations, and the patterns that keep agents productive without letting them run wild.

Platform Architecture

Modernizing .NET/Angular/AWS platforms with 20+ years of hands-on delivery across government, education, energy, and enterprise.

Context Engineering

Building the persistent context — project rules, skills, verification harnesses — that makes AI coding agents reliable, not just fast.

Background

Digital Architect at the Government of Alberta. InfoQ Certified Software Architect in Emerging Technologies. Recently attended QCon London 2026, applying what I learned about MCP, agent harness patterns, and architecture as code to real platform work.

20+ years shipping web applications. Currently building in public — writing about what I'm learning as I go.

Work with me

If you're exploring how agents fit into your platform, I can help.
