Sven Peters is a Technology Evangelist at Atlassian since July 2011. He started with Java development in 1998. Sven loves programming languages and helping software developers to kick-ass in what they’re doing.

My journey in IT world started as a support engineer. I realised quickly that a lot of teams straggle with collaboration, transparency and tracking work done/undone. That was the time when Atlassian kicked the door down and jumpstarted my career. From that time I'm Atlassian Evangelist, Solution Architect and passionate about Agile Methodology. My business goal is to facilitate people's work by giving them tools that are available from anywhere and at anytime. Key words for myself are simplification and automation.
