Contributing Writer, Explore Agentic
Alexander writes the implementation-side of MCP: server design, transport choices, A2A interop. He contributes to the MCP pillar and glossary. His angle is what actually compiles and what doesn't, with a focus on the patterns that survive a second-week refactor.
