Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBaran Demirci is a Staff Software Engineer (SRE) based in Amsterdam with over a decade of hands-on experience designing and operating cloud-native, highly available distributed systems. He began as a backend engineer and evolved into a reliability specialist who treats software engineering as an end-to-end craft—from architecture and IaC to observability and incident management. Expert in Go and Python, comfortable with Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, and GitOps, he has built systems serving millions of users and created large-scale Redis deployments early in his career. He has led and scaled engineering teams, launched a wide range of products from scratch, and driven cost and performance optimizations across multiple cloud platforms. Notably, observability has been central to his approach since 2014, enabling proactive reliability and rapid troubleshooting of legacy and complex systems. His blend of deep low-level Kubernetes knowledge and practical experience automating ops makes him a rare engineer who spans development, infrastructure, and operational excellence.
