Senior🎓
Top SchoolThiranjith W is a product-minded Principal Engineer with 14 years of experience building and scaling cross-functional engineering teams across startups, scale-ups and large enterprises, now at Atlassian in Auckland. He combines hands-on full-stack engineering (Java, Kotlin, TypeScript, Spring Boot, React) with technical strategy—architecting cloud-native microservices, observability and secure API platforms on AWS/GCP/Azure. As a former CTO and Director of Engineering he has repeatedly scaled teams rapidly (5→20+), led product launches that hit revenue milestones, and managed technical due diligence for funding and compliance. His domain breadth spans big data, payments/fintech, healthcare and telecoms, with deep experience in integrations (GraphQL, gRPC, Kafka, Cassandra, ElasticSearch) and developer experience improvements. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic processes and developer tooling (CI/CD, Kubernetes, Istio) that turn complex legacy integrations into measurable business outcomes. An early researcher in mobile healthcare systems, he brings a rare mix of academic rigour and startup velocity to production-grade systems.
