A natural mentor and collaborator, Cyrus has onboarded engineers, led team events and presented at town halls, and is passionate about leadership, diversity, and work that impacts thousands of users. His background spans embedded C work and internships at Xero and Atlassian, giving him breadth from low-level systems to large-scale cloud services. Outside of code he pursues language learning, long runs and the outdoors, reflecting a pragmatic, people-focused approach to software development.
