About

Building systems

I'm a Solutions Architect based in Istanbul, Turkey. I specialise in AWS cloud architecture, Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, and container orchestration with Kubernetes. Currently on the Platform team at Coca-Cola İçecek.

I hold a Master's in Software Engineering from Bogazici University and a Bachelor's in Computer Science from Sabanci University. Outside of infrastructure I mentor engineers and give conference talks, including at SRE Days London and Google DevFest.
