Full-stack developer turned AI engineer, building agentic systems and developer tooling in Calgary. I work with Elixir/Phoenix, TypeScript, and Python — and spend a lot of time thinking about how AI agents should be structured, controlled, and actually shipped. Writing about agentic coding pipelines, AI infrastructure, and the messy reality of building with LLMs.

This isn't a zero-sum game or a choice of one over the other. They solve different layers of the developer experience: MCP provides a standardized, portable interface for external data/tools (the infrastructure), while Skills offer project-specific, high-level behavioral context (the orchestration). A robust workflow uses MCP to ensure tool reliability and Skills to define when and how to deploy those tools.
