Hello, I'm Jeevan — Building in the Open

Hi — I’m Jeevan, and this is the first real post on my blog. I love tech and work accross multiple areas like Identity & Network Access, Security , Currently i love to build AI agents and MCP servers in the open, and this is where I’ll share what works, what breaks, and what I learn along the way.

Who I am

I’m a Product Manager at Microsoft working on AI-driven network access, helping organizations secure how their people and agents connect. By day I think a lot about identity and secure access — I’m also a co-author of Exam Ref SC-300: Microsoft Identity and Access Administrator.

By night (and most weekends) I’m hands-on with AI: building agents, wiring up tools, and turning rough ideas into working samples anyone can clone and run.

What I build

Most of my work lives on GitHub as practical, tested examples rather than slideware. A few themes I keep coming back to:

• AI agents — single-agent and multi-agent designs that actually do something.
• MCP and tool use — connecting agents to real APIs, systems, and data.
• RAG architectures — retrieval-augmented setups that ground answers in real context.

A couple of repos that capture the spirit:

• CopilotMCPSample — a hands-on look at the Model Context Protocol with Copilot.
• SPIFFEBasicsDesktop — a SPIFFE/SPIRE tutorial that runs entirely on your laptop with Docker.

The common thread: if I can’t get it running on my own machine, it doesn’t ship.

Why this blog

GitHub is great for code, but it’s a lousy place to explain the why behind it. I want a spot to write up the reasoning, the dead ends, and the small details that don’t fit in a README — the stuff I wish someone had written down before I started.

or In general just express or share my random projects that might not be part of aligned domain but interest me and hopefully others.

So expect short, practical posts: samples code, agent patterns, MCP walkthroughs, secure-access notes, and the occasional lesson learned the hard way.

Say hi

I genuinely like comparing notes. You can find me on LinkedIn, X, and YouTube.

Thanks for stopping by — more soon.
