Software Engineer — AI & Agentic Systems
Fabio Zihlmann
I build the agents that run the platform. 5+ years shipping zero-incident production systems at JPMorgan Chase, now focused on multi-agent orchestration, MCP servers, and autonomous developer tooling.

Software Engineer with 5+ years in a Fortune 50 financial environment, owning Kafka streaming pipelines, Spring microservices, and cloud infrastructure end-to-end. Recent work centers on agentic AI engineering: designing a 30+ agent Copilot platform, authoring MCP servers in Java/Spring Boot, and building requirements-to-PR pipelines that autonomously implement, build, and open pull requests across production codebases. I care about production safety, practical guardrails, and automation that actually ships.
Selected work
Multi-Agent Copilot Platform
PrivateConductor-orchestrator architecture in GitHub Copilot Chat routing across 30+ specialist agents for code investigation, story implementation, Kubernetes ops, and CI/CD — eliminating context-switching across repos and toolchains for the entire team.
Enterprise MCP Server
PrivateJava 21 / Spring Boot MCP server enabling Copilot Chat to query four enterprise databases (Oracle + DB2) under Kerberos auth, with read-only production safety and Jasypt-encrypted configuration.
Requirements-to-PR Pipeline
PrivateAgentic pipeline that ingests Jira tickets, clarifies scope with the user, plans against the live codebase, implements Liquibase changesets and Kafka/Camel logic, runs builds, and opens pull requests — delivered across three production microservices with zero post-release defects.
AI API-Discovery Skill
PrivateJava CLI wrapping 89 predefined REST endpoints across five microservices with automatic enterprise JWT generation, used by test-generation agents to validate UI-to-API-to-DB mappings end-to-end.
Kafka Fraud-Detection Streaming Platform
PrivateKafka producer/consumer applications processing 10M+ records daily, streaming transaction data from mainframe sources into SQL Server for real-time fraud-detection workflows.
Playwright UI Regression Suite
PrivatePlaywright-based UI regression and performance validation suite for a Spring/React operations application on GKP, with parallel execution and pipeline gates that block releases on pass-rate thresholds.
Experience
Associate Software Engineer · JPMorgan Chase & Co.
2020 — Present- Designed and shipped a 30+ agent Copilot platform (Conductor + specialists) covering code investigation, story implementation, and cloud ops — cutting production-issue investigation from hours to minutes.
- Authored a Java 21 MCP server and 8 Spring Boot skill services exposing enterprise systems (AWS, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Oracle/DB2) as agent tools with production-safe guardrails.
- Owned four production-critical applications (Kafka pipelines + Spring microservices) with zero production incidents across all releases; engineered streaming throughput of 10M+ records/day.
Software Developer Intern · JPMorgan Chase & Co.
2019 — 2020- Built a Selenium + Cucumber BDD suite with 200+ scenarios for a customer-facing checking application, scheduled for continuous regression across browsers and environments.
