Senior Software Engineer, Search AI Team at Atlassian
I am a Senior Software Engineer on the Search AI Team at Atlassian, where I handle indexing, retrieval systems, and OpenSearch infrastructure across products. I build scalable distributed backend systems for search and information architecture workflows, and I reduced search latency by 80% with an index-per-tenant architecture. Previously I was Founder and CTO at Probz AI and at Credwise, and a Member of Technical Staff-3 at Nutanix working on the IAM authorization stack.
Most tools make you search when you need something.
What if you could just tell an agent what you're looking for—and let it watch?
“Tell me when a company matching my criteria starts hiring.”
“Tell me when a relevant founder is looking for someone like me.”
“Tell me when a company enters this market.”
“Tell me when the right opportunity appears.”
You define the signal.
The agent watches.
When something relevant happens, it comes back to you.
Search is pull.
Agents make it push.
That's a much more interesting internet.

We search.
We click.
We read.
We compare.
AI agents don't need to work that way.
They need structured information they can understand, search, evaluate and act on.
Imagine an internet where your professional identity, company, skills, opportunities and intent are all accessible to agents.
That's the direction we're exploring with Parlel.
The internet is becoming an interface for agents.
And we're still very early.
An AI agent could understand:
• Your skills
• Your experience
• Your interests
• Your location
• What you're looking for
• When you're available
Then match you with relevant opportunities.
That's a fundamentally different job market.
Less:
“How many applications did you send?”
More:
“How discoverable are you?”
We're building toward that future at Parlel.
Imagine telling an AI agent:
Find me 20 backend engineers who have built high-scale systems, are based in India, and are open to a new opportunity.
Instead of:
…the agent finds the people for you.
That's where recruiting is heading.
Search → shortlist → connect.
The professional network of the future won't just help you search.
It will let agents search for you.
Your professional profile used to be something humans read.
That is changing.
AI agents are increasingly going to search for:
→ engineers
→ designers
→ founders
→ recruiters
→ companies
→ customers
→ opportunities
The question isn't just:
Can a human understand what I do?
It's also:
Can a machine find me when I'm exactly what someone is looking for?
Your professional identity is becoming machine-readable.
That's why we’re building Parlel.
