What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable, reliable platform systems with strong engineering culture, cross-team collaboration, and opportunities to optimize performance and developer experience.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years building enterprise-scale platforms at Atlassian and Adobe, focused on performance optimization, microservices architecture, and developer experience. I drive measurable improvements in latency, uptime, and developer productivity through pragmatic engineering and cross-team collaboration.

At Atlassian I built high-performance Go and Java microservices, designed APIs and real-time dashboards, and operated services on AWS, contributing to a 45% reduction in resource utilization and 99.9% platform uptime. I also led efforts around observability and CI/CD that reduced downtime and accelerated delivery.

Previously at Adobe I developed AEM integrations, headless GraphQL APIs, and SPA experiences that improved cache hit rates and reduced page latency. I prioritize secure, scalable design and partner closely with product, design, and analytics teams to deliver reliable systems and actionable insights.
