What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build secure, high-scale cloud platforms and user-facing products, especially in identity, authorization, distributed systems, and AI-agent workflows. I value product collaboration, operational ownership, and opportunities to lead and grow engineering teams.

At Atlassian, I build OAuth 2.0 and IAM capabilities for Jira, Confluence, and other products, contributing to services handling approximately 200,000 requests per second. I also contributed to an agentic permission model and admin experiences for secure AI-agent access policies.

Previously, I led backend development for Numi's VR streaming platform, supporting 10,000 concurrent users, and built RPM Freight Systems' core operations platform from the ground up. My work has covered real-time logistics, shipment tracking, mobile and web experiences, analytics, SSO, and asynchronous service integrations.

Across 15 years, I've built reliable cloud-native systems in .NET, Java, and Kotlin, with a focus on authorization, microservices, observability, and incident response. I enjoy partnering with product teams to turn complex operational needs into scalable, user-facing platforms.
