The Journey

Senior Engineering Manager at Atlassian · Sydney · Originally from Clermont-Ferrand, France

I lead engineering teams that ship products millions of people rely on. But what drives me most isn't just the software — it's growing the people who build it.

Over 17+ years, I've gone from writing my first PHP scripts in Paris to co-founding four startups, teaching hundreds of students, and now leading teams at one of the world's top software companies. The common thread? Helping people level up.
