About

Will Bath – Head of Engineering, dad, mountain biker. Sydney, Australia

Will has a love for all things tech. Starting out writing BASIC games and doing pixel art when EGA graphics were the rage and a 1200 baud modem was considered blistering in speed. He went on to study Computer Systems Engineering and went on to work in pipeline robotics, mining electronics before focusing on software. In the past 15 years he worked as a technical lead in defence, development director at a NZ health startup where he helped found two of their offshore development centres and most recently has spent the past 6 years with Atlassian as HoE building their Identity platform that powers their cloud products. During his time it has grown from the first tenant of 10 users to a platform that is trusted to secure and manage hundreds of thousands of customers, 10’s of millions of users, 24/7 with zero downtime at loads of 10^10 requests a week and sub 20ms performance.
