Summary
Ayhan Sipahi is a software engineering leader based in Berlin with over a decade of experience building serverless, event-driven systems and leading cross-organizational teams. As Team Lead for the bonify–Schufa app he owns architecture and delivery for a distributed team, driving zero-downtime migrations to DynamoDB, AWS CDK adoption, and a decomposition from monolith to domain-aligned services. He repeatedly accelerates delivery—reducing deployments from 30 to 2 minutes and eliminating recurring Lambda failures—while evangelizing ADRs and technical alignment across company boundaries. Previously he architected B2B cargo and route-optimization platforms (including AI-powered route intelligence) and centralized content platforms at scale for multi-market e-commerce. Comfortable spanning frontend and backend concerns, he combines hands-on engineering in TypeScript, React/React Native and AWS with pragmatic leadership that converts ambiguous business goals into auditable technical strategy. An uncommon strength is shipping full-stack, production-grade systems solo under tight timelines, then scaling them into team-owned platforms.
