Summary
Norman Atashbar is a hands-on engineering manager with 12 years of experience building and scaling platform services for enterprise customers, currently leading engineering at Redbelly Network after several senior leadership roles at Atlassian.

Comfortable negotiating solutions with stakeholders, he blends technical depth across Java/Kotlin and TypeScript/Node.js with a pragmatic focus on operational excellence. Based in Sydney, he pairs a strong systems background (from fintech and carrier platforms to developer ecosystems) with an active curiosity in AI explored through side projects, showing a tendency to pair architectural vision with hands-on experimentation.
