🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAtamert Ölçgen is an independent consultant and polyglot software engineer with 17 years’ experience building backend systems and improving test automation, especially in functional languages like Clojure, Haskell and Scala, with Rust as a favored systems language. He blends pragmatic trade-offs—balancing speed, cost and clear communication—with disciplined practices such as TDD, and has contributed to notable open-source tooling like the Midje Clojure testing framework. Having held senior engineering and consultancy roles across fintech, startups and enterprise banks, he brings both hands-on development and production-focused architecture experience. Based in İzmir, Türkiye, he pairs a non-traditional background (a BS in Environmental Engineering) with deep language-centric craftsmanship and a bias for picking “good” solutions over trendy ones.
