Mira is a Staff Security/Software Engineer at a unicorn-stage SaaS company running on Microsoft Azure in a multi-cloud environment. As one of the ten architects responsible for both software and security architecture, he shapes the trajectory of a platform built on .NET - from the monolith that carries the business to the emerging microservices that will define its future, while being actively engaged in both business and technical guidance during M&A events.

By day, I navigate the tension between shipping fast and shipping safe across a product surface that now includes LLM-powered features. By night (and early morning, and weekends), I build games, convenience apps, and small tools using every conventional and unconventional AI coding assistant I can get his hands on (I used to do small scoped projects prior to the AI era as well) and I have the experience as both a hobby and a long-running field study in what these tools actually produce.

I speak from the intersection of architecture, security, culture, and hands-on making. I have some production scars, real side-project joy, and very few slides with stock photos.

Jonathan Kahn is a communication coach who trains developers to use soft skills to gain influence and ship products faster. A former web developer, he’s coached technical experts of all stripes--from engineers to designers, financial analysts to surgeons, energy researchers to UN peacekeepers. He’s also trained the UK's leading digital teams in communication skills, from Deliveroo to the Government Digital Service.

Jonathan believes that anyone can develop soft skills--but they aren't covered in technical training programmes. These skills are vital for managing ambiguity, making judgement calls, negotiation, understanding business needs, public speaking and more. With the rise of AI, communication skills are even more important, as you need to explain the risks and benefits to business stakeholders who haven't grasped the details.

Over the last decade Jonathan has trained hundreds of engineers--and now he shares best practices, learning frameworks, and useful tips in talks and workshops.
