Experience

Atlassian

I am currently an ML Engineer at Atlassian, working on Rovo Dev and applied AI systems for developer productivity.

  • Shipped production features for Rovo Dev CLI/TUI, including session hooks, slash commands, PR review flows, and agent-session capture.
  • Improved reliability by fixing Sentry-backed crashes across session restore, deferred tool calls, ACP MCP server mapping, terminal I/O, and Textual widget lifecycles.
  • Built observability and evaluation tooling with Sentry, OpenTelemetry, MLflow, Databricks, and Bitbucket Pipelines.
  • Developed agentic workflows for Jira issue scoping, PR analysis, SWE-bench style evaluations, and AI-assisted code review.
  • Added platform hardening for security, CI/CD, model selection, logging, tracing, and cross-platform file handling.
