Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHarsil Patel is a Software Engineer based in Melbourne with 9 years’ experience building scalable backend systems and improving developer productivity. At Atlassian he halved feature-branch build times and cut main branch CI time by two-thirds through caching, parallel tests, and build reconfiguration, and improved support SLAs by surfacing alerts and streamlining workflows. He brings broad technical depth—from functional programming in Haskell and constraint modelling in MiniZinc to production Kotlin and TypeScript services—and a track record of practical automation like AST-based refactor tools and CSV→Mongo importers. Comfortable across microservices, GraphQL, PostgreSQL/MongoDB and AWS, he pairs CS fundamentals (high-distinction Monash graduate and tutor in advanced algorithms) with hands-on product work such as a collaborative iOS trip planner and several game projects. Colleagues benefit from his focus on measurable improvements to developer experience and operational efficiency, while his side projects reveal a curiosity for elegant, language-agnostic solutions.
