Hey, I'm Rejaine Lima
Senior Software Engineer • Atlassian • Sydney, Australia
From the interior of Brazil to Big Tech in Australia. 15+ years building systems that scale — and now helping you do the same.
Where I've worked
About Me
I've spent over 15 years building, scaling, and rescuing software systems. At Atlassian, I helped build the backend platform that migrated enterprise customers like Mercedes-Benz, PwC, Bosch, and major banks worldwide from on-premise to cloud — joining the Migrations org when it was 15 people and staying through its growth to 300. I also worked in the Jira Automation org, enabling customers like Nubank, Claro, and Telefonica to use automation at scale.
Before and after that: Commonwealth Bank engineer in digital with Insurance products, Qantas engineering for Qantas Business Rewards, smaller startups and companies across Australia and Brazil across different cloud providers and DBs.
Today I use AI as a practical tool in my daily engineering work — not as a buzzword. I'm particularly interested in a problem I think we'll see a lot more of: "newborn legacy" — vibe-coded prototypes that shipped fast but now can't be maintained or extended.
Senior Software Engineer with a passion for solving complex problems and building systems that scale. I bring bold ideas, an innovative mindset, and a drive to create meaningful impact through technology.
🌎 Born in the interior of Brazil. 10 years building in São Paulo. 9+ years in Sydney. Always learning. Always building.

The "Newborn Legacy" Problem
Vibe-coded prototypes that shipped fast but now can't be maintained or extended. It's the new face of legacy, and fixing it requires understanding both modern AI tooling and solid engineering fundamentals. I've seen it, I've fixed it — and I can help your team avoid it.
