I build AI-enabled developer platforms and distributed cloud infrastructure at scale.

What I'm looking for

I’m open to select Principal and Staff-level engineering opportunities, plus freelance or advisory work in AI engineering, agent evaluation, developer productivity, and cloud-native architecture.

At Atlassian, I lead architecture and delivery for DevPlatform, a Remote Developer Environments platform used by thousands of engineers. I’ve helped reduce development-environment costs by approximately 85% and cut setup time from days to under two minutes.

I build AI-enabled engineering workflows using LLMs, RAG, embeddings, and repository-aware assistance. My work includes an AI developer-support agent that reduced common support resolution from about four hours to about 30 minutes, plus IntenTrace, a beta requirement-alignment system projected to reduce drift and rework by up to 50%.

Through Mercor, I design and validate evaluation tasks for AI coding agents in private GitHub repositories, covering source-level analysis, debugging, test validation, rubric design, and AI-generated code review.

I’ve also architected cloud-native platforms at O4S, Chegg, Motivity Labs, Trimble, and Microsoft, spanning supply-chain traceability, content delivery, microservices integration, telematics, and CRM. I’m open to select freelance and advisory work in AI engineering, agent evaluation, developer productivity, and cloud-native architecture.
