I've worked in software development for most of my adult life. I started in QA & moved into technical project management, while dabbling in development. I was introduced to Jira as a user in 2005 when trying out new tools. I was reintroduced to Jira & Confluence in 2010 & moved into the part time Atlassian admin role. After a few years, I realized I had a passion for the Atlassian ecosphere & made the switch to full time work as an Atlassian administrator & developer & haven't looked back.
