Hosted By

Mark Higgins, Atlassian Community Leader

I've been a supporter of Atlassian and its products since they where a small office in Sydney, which goes back to the start of the century (nearly).

I've been in IT forever, even before it was called IT, as was known as the EDP department. Starting in 1984, just after the first PC came out, I've seen and been involved in so much change in IT, that its unrecognizable from the time I started.

I remember Windows NT4, Windows 3.1, SQL 6.0 , floppy disks and a number of others that are now consigned to history.

To be part of the community, is very rewarding, and I've always been someone who volunteers, from coaching my son's soccer team, from the U7's, cricket teams, my daughters soccer team, my work with Oxfam.

I love community sport events, having done 17 Oxfam trail walks, more than 10 City to Surfs, Countless Gong Rides, Bowral Rides, half a dozen Half marathons, and 20 years ago, the Sydney marathon.

Now, its mostly cycling, and my South Sydney Rabbitohs, and now that I can WFH, my labradoodles, Casper and Willow.

Prashant Gami, Atlassian Community Leader

For decades, Prashant has been helping businesses stay ahead of their competition by creating a culture of continuous innovation that adds significant value. After scaling multiple businesses and leading some of Australia’s biggest dev teams, Prashant is using his expertise, in-depth knowledge and passion for technology to drive hypergrowth for his clients at x·enabler.

Pragya Malhotra, Atlassian Community Leader

😼 Tom Zhu, Atlassian Community Leader

Hi, I'm Tom Zhu, a typical cat person like Sheldon Cooper. I come from Shanghai and used to be the ACE leader there. When I was a kid, I became a big fan of computer technology, from the iMac G3, 5.25/3.5 floppy disks, and 56k modems to the latest MacBook, Nvidia GeForce graphics cards, Starlink, and fancy software/hardware stuff.

During my 10-year job career, I have gained experience across various industries including Russian interpretation, export trading, HR software, Fintech, Blockchain, Cloud Computing, and Atlassian consulting, in addition to using Jira.

I am extremely curious, and I am always looking for the root cause behind a phenomenon. I have worked with people from various cultural backgrounds, summarized common rules, written articles, and shared them with everyone. I am passionate about helping people solve problems with new technology and comprehensive solutions.

I own a small company called TMAN Consulting, still at the beginning level. We are an Atlassian Silver Solution Partner.

I enjoy metal and rock music, cute kitties, going to the gym, driving, and elegant design. I'm a typical tech geek/nerd. I really enjoy working with smart people from multicultural backgrounds; it helps me explore the beauty of the world and cultural diversity.

Thanks to God, received GTI visa invitation in October 2023. Now I've been in Sydney, settled everything down, and started a new life. I'm really looking forward to making new friends and fitting into the new environment. I believe it will be a wonderful, magical journey in Sydney ACE and the international Atlassian ecosystem.
