Overview

This is an attempt to consolidate my thoughts and help organize technical information that interests me. There are many one time articles that I write both at work and for myself which gets lost over time.

About me

Principal engineer
Atlassian

Building and solving problems interests me. Over the years, I have limited the problem space to software development. If there is one word to describe my interests, it is “tinker”.

My experience in software development spreading across domains and technologies has helped me develop a deeper understanding of computing and offer unique insights.

Fully hands on, I spend most of my time in design and implementation of critical distributed software.
