Summary
Deniz Silahcilar is a seasoned software engineer with 15 years of experience specializing in Java-based microservices, Spring Cloud, DevOps practices and cloud-native tooling. He has progressed from hands-on developer roles to engineering manager at ING, where he now continues as a senior engineer driving resilient, test-driven architectures and CI/CD improvements. His career includes reorganizing large codebases, building BFFs for mobile apps, and introducing centralized logging and dependency management to improve reliability and release cadence. Comfortable in both leadership and pair-programming contexts, he blends TDD, automation and observability (New Relic, ELK) to reduce incident surface and speed delivery. Based in Utrecht, he brings pragmatic craftsmanship—favoring clean dependency boundaries and maintainable microservice contracts—learned from modernizing complex enterprise systems. A detail that stands out: he pairs deep Java/Hibernate expertise with practical ops skills (Docker, Linux, Jenkins, Sonar) enabling end-to-end ownership from code to production.
