Enterprise AI · Agents at Scale

Senior Engineer @ Atlassian

A systems-minded product engineer and software architect who starts with the problem, not the stack. Across Enterprise AI, insurance, and logistics, I've led teams to build auditable, reliable platforms that deliver genuine customer value — measured by adoption, time-to-value, and durability. Technology is a tool, not the goal.
