Chris Shaw

As a Senior Software Engineer with over eight years of experience, I have a proven track record of leading the development of scalable backend services and architecting real-time notification systems. At Atlassian, I spearheaded the development of core Jira Cloud capabilities, enhancing user workflows and automation. My expertise in Java, Node.js, and cloud technologies has enabled me to deliver robust solutions that meet the needs of diverse sectors, including finance and healthcare.

My journey began at Netlify, where I honed my skills in backend systems and frontend development. I successfully transitioned a legacy Angular.js codebase to React, improving performance and user experience. I am passionate about mentoring junior engineers and fostering a collaborative environment that encourages innovation and technical excellence. I thrive in agile settings and am committed to continuous learning and improvement.
