ABOUT ME
Senior Software Engineer at Atlassian. I've spent the last two and a half years
working on enterprise-scale backend systems and, more recently, AI Agents.
At Rovo Agents team, I'm building the platform evals framework and automation.
Most of my career has been in backend and platform engineering: distributed systems, data migrations, performance-critical APIs.
Before Atlassian, I led a team at Fluent Commerce, also done consulting work in data engineering and BI.
I'm comfortable owning the solution end to end.
