As an Engineering Leader, I: - empower my teams to do the best work of their careers - am vocal about the work I do and always think like a product owner while engineering solutions in tandem with product & design - stay connected with end customers in a world where it is easy to be bogged down by requirements and shipping code mindlessly - ensure the quality of software engineering craftsmanship via three important pillars - Reliability, Observability and Measurability. (reduced incidents, prepared to tackle them better) - prefer to have an opiniated set of processes in place, usually decided in tandem with the team. Over the course of the past decade, I've seen processes do wonders to overall throughput of teams and predictability of our response times as a team - led large teams (20+ devs) of passionate engineers and am always learning - partnered with global PMs and EMs to help shape product architecture, practices, roadmap and release plans - attract, hire, onboard and retain top talent - craft a positive winning culture built on collaboration and shared accomplishments - demonstrated project management skills using agile methodologies within a large team environment - proven track record developing, leading, coaching, and mentoring software engineers These days, I'm working on an interesting phase of a product's journey - "migrations", at an unprecedented scale. Happily learning and growing at Atlassian with an amazing team of passionate engineers and product + design folks! As an Individual Contributor, I: - learned how to build things at various stages of a company - early-stage startups, venture-backed, listed corporates and global MNCs. - built, broke, and rebuilt platforms from scratch and otherwise. - am usually the go-to guy for quick MVP iteration, development, and testing out hypothesis. - can follow up by building solid platforms enabling businesses on top of these POCs! - OO design/architectural skills and problem-solving/analytical abilities. Turnkey projects include, - custom UI Framework, cross-platform, multi-factor apps. - in-browser furniture customization engine using CSS 3D Transforms (textures, pricing configurator, 3D to JSON modelling) - back-office chat system enabling travel agents globally to share pricing info and deals. - eCommerce portal orchestrated via 3 back-office apps. Apart from the day-to-day corporate, I - like to build and nurture communities - speak at conferences - participate in open source to enable the next generation to rise beyond what we've accomplished.
