Summary
Ross Weir is a software engineer with 18 years of experience who transitioned from offshore oil-rig work to full-time software development in 2016 and now builds distributed, event-driven microservices at Atlassian using TypeScript. A self-taught web hobbyist since 2011, his curiosity pulled him into lower-level systems and OS-level programming, where he enjoys tinkering with memory and performance. He has practical experience across Australian tech firms including Kogan and WSP, and brings a hands-on, troubleshooting mindset—often reducing problems to the classic “turn it off and on again” with a deeper systems perspective. Based in Traralgon, Victoria, Ross pairs pragmatic production engineering with an explorer’s background, blending real-world operational grit with modern cloud-native development.
