About

With over 10 years of experience as an Engineering Leader, I have developed and applied a diverse range of competencies in software lifecycle, agile project management, problem-solving, collaboration, communication, emotional intelligence, and coaching & mentoring. These competencies have enabled me to build and lead high-performing teams and deliver strong results for businesses across different domains and platforms. Currently, as a Senior Engineering Manager at Atlassian, I oversee the buyer experience journey for Atlassian Marketplace customers, a $4.5bn lifetime GMV enterprise. I manage a group of 30 talented engineers and two Engineering Managers, and I am responsible for product development, customer engagement, and strategy planning. In addition, I have a passion for sports, which has instilled in me a strong sense of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. I strive to create a positive and productive work environment that fosters innovation and growth for myself and others. My goal is to continue leveraging my technical expertise, leadership experience, and diverse background in both Metallurgical Engineering and Software Engineering to make a significant impact as an Engineering Leader.
