I’m a Senior Engineering Manager at Atlassian, based in Sydney. I’ve been here for over a decade, joining as a graduate developer in 2015 and growing through senior IC roles into management. Most of that time has been in and around Jira’s developer-tools space — the integrations that connect Jira to Bitbucket, GitHub, and the rest of the dev workflow.

Before software, I studied Philosophy at the University of Otago, where I picked up a Bachelor of Arts and a Postgraduate Diploma. My PG Dip dissertation was on Homotopy Type Theory and the foundations of mathematics — which is how I found my way into formal methods, type systems, and eventually a graduate role in industry via a Diploma for Graduates in Computer Science.

These days I think a lot about . I write about that kind of thing here, when I find the time.
