about
Marcus Patman
Production AI engineer and agentic platform engineer. Founder of Adventure On The Wave, creator of Turbo Rig and Turbo Flow, operator of the Ancuria SaaS. 20+ years of production infrastructure.
I don't consult about agentic engineering because I took a course. I run the infrastructure, build the tooling, operate the SaaS, and use the workflow myself at production scale.
The short version
I've spent my career building, automating, and running Linux-based systems and cloud infrastructure — real production systems, from Fortune 500 enterprises to startups. I know what production looks like: what breaks, how it breaks, and why it always breaks at the worst moment.
Today that experience points at one problem: teams being pushed to put AI into production without the operational discipline to keep it alive there. That's the work — audits, guardrails, observability, and the agentic workflow that makes AI output trustworthy.
Roles
- Founder — Adventure On The Wave (consulting & commercial engineering)
- Creator — Turbo Rig and Turbo Flow (governed agentic coding)
- Operator — Ancuria (production AI SaaS)
- Author — Agentic Platform Engineering (the framework)
- Rust developer — crates.io/marcuspat
Systems I've run
Twenty-plus years across startups and enterprises, with production systems run at Intuit, Epsilon, Omnicom, and Yesmail — email infrastructure and data platforms at scales where "we'll fix it in production" is not a plan. The full work history and certifications: marcuspatman.space.
The ecosystem
Adventure On The Wave is the apex of a small technical estate, and the relationships are deliberate:
| Property | Role |
|---|---|
| Adventure On The Wave | Consulting & expertise — this site |
| Adventure Wave Labs | R&D / open source — the lab footprint (145 tracked deployments) |
| Turbo Rig / Turbo Flow | Methodology & tooling proof |
| Ancuria | Production SaaS proof |
| Agentic Platform Engineering | The intellectual framework |
| Creando Tu Matrix | Mexico / LATAM implementation partner (Spanish) |
Specialization
- Designing and implementing scalable cloud infrastructure.
- Building automation tools and CI/CD pipelines that streamline deployments.
- Developing high-performance systems utilities in Rust.
- Creating agentic developer tools that raise productivity and code quality.
- Implementing security best practices and vulnerability scanning.
- Stabilizing production: AI audits, deployment guardrails, and observability that keep systems solid once they're live.
