Sr. IT Applications Specialist
Twitter, Inc.
As a former Program Manager, I changed my career and become an Jira Administrator using the Atlassian stack of tools. Making the change to Atlassian Tools I become a Senior Systems Engineer using the AWS/Atlassian Data Center Environment with Jira, Jira Service Desk and Confluence at Airbnb and spoke at the Atlassian Summit 2019 in Las Vegas. The title of my talk was 'Why I Changed My Career to Become a Jira Admin'

Since then, I moved to Twitter as a Sr. IT Applications Engineer as a Jira Admin. My team won the Atlassian Team Award - Best in Class - Technical in 2021. Our innovative work was documented in the Atlassian Agile Coach which can be viewed at - https://www.atlassian.com/agile/teams/jira-twitter-unified-projects-teamwork.
