I build custom Forge apps for Jira and Confluence using a unique agentic development flow. Working solutions in hours, final apps in weeks.
Here's the thing—I didn't just learn Forge. I built my own agentic development flow that makes building Forge apps incredibly fast and consistently well-architected.
While most developers are still writing boilerplate code and debugging basic configurations, my agentic flow handles the heavy lifting. It sets up the project structure, configures modules, handles permissions, and generates clean, maintainable code—all in minutes instead of hours.
This isn't about using AI to generate random code. It's about using AI agents in a structured, reliable workflow that I've refined over years of Forge development. The result? Working prototypes in less than 4 hours, production-ready apps in weeks.
What makes it different?
The flow is deterministic and repeatable. Every project gets the same quality foundation, with customizations built on top of battle-tested patterns. No spaghetti code, no tech debt accumulation—just solid architecture every time.
Working Solution: < 4 Hours
From zero to a functioning prototype you can test and iterate on
Final App: < 2 Weeks
Production-ready deployment, depending on complexity
5x Work in 1/10th the Time
With AI augmentation, I deliver exceptional results with rapid turnaround
*The actual volume of work depends on the project scope and complexity. Some apps take days, others take weeks—but all follow the same rapid, quality-focused workflow.
Let me be clear: I'm not one of those developers who's been building Atlassian apps since the Stone Age. I started with Forge 5 years ago, back when it was still new and the docs were sparse.
Before Forge, I was a "run of the mill" developer. Building web apps, APIs, typical software engineering stuff. Then I discovered Forge and realized something powerful: Atlassian's cloud platform needed developers who could ship apps quickly and reliably.
The age of AI changed everything for me. Instead of just being faster at writing code, I rethought the entire development process. I built tools, flows, and systems that leverage AI not just for code generation, but for architectural decisions, testing strategies, and deployment workflows.
Why this matters for you
You're not hiring someone who's "seen it all" and relies on outdated patterns. You're hiring someone who's constantly experimenting, optimizing, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible with Forge and AI. The result? Modern, scalable, maintainable apps built with the latest techniques.
Don't just take my word for it. Here's an example of what's possible when this approach is applied to real-world problems.
Forge App for Jira
An AI-powered Forge app that adds validators and conditions to Jira workflow transitions. Evaluate field content with custom prompts, detect duplicates via agentic JQL search, and analyze attachments including images—all powered by OpenAI.
AI-Powered Workflows
Leveraging OpenAI to bring intelligent validation and automation directly into Jira workflow transitions.

“This is the kind of result you can expect when you work with me—apps that solve real problems, built quickly, and deployed to production without drama.”
Custom Forge apps that extend Jira and Confluence in ways the marketplace can't match.
Full-featured apps with custom user interfaces built with React and Forge's Custom UI framework.
Contextual panels that display data, provide actions, or integrate external systems directly in Jira issues or Confluence pages.
Automated workflows that trigger actions based on events, such as issue transitions, page updates, or scheduled tasks.
Specialized field types that store and display custom data, with validation, search, and filtering capabilities.
Configuration pages for app settings, user preferences, and administrative controls with clean, intuitive interfaces.
Deep integrations with external systems, APIs, and services that extend the capabilities of your Atlassian tools.
Whether it's migrations, Forge app development, or practical AI guidance, I'm here to help. The best way to start is by asking in community.
