Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCan Kınay is a Senior Staff Software Engineer based in Berlin with 12 years of experience building developer-facing platforms and resilient backend systems across mobility, fintech, and startups. He blends hands-on engineering with leadership and product sensibility—driving CI/CD, observability, event-driven pipelines, and API standardization to reduce cognitive load and delivery risk. As an engineering manager and former founder-in-residence, he pairs entrepreneurial instincts with repeatable delivery practices, having moved teams from monoliths to fast microservices and iterative delivery. Known for enabling developer experience at scale (Backstage, SDKs, RFC-driven standardization) he mentors teams to ship reliable, production-grade systems quickly. An unconventional detail: he frequently takes small coding challenges in unfamiliar platforms (e.g., making a few commits to mobile repos) to stay technical and build empathy for cross-platform teams.
