Senior🎓
Top SchoolEkin Sökmen is a senior software engineer and hands-on architect with over two decades of experience building scalable systems across telecommunications, finance and e-commerce, and currently contributing at Apple. He blends deep backend expertise in Java, microservices, distributed messaging and cloud (AWS/Kubernetes) with practical front-end knowledge in TypeScript/React, regularly shipping end-to-end solutions and CI/CD-driven platforms. Ekin has led engineering teams and re-architected high-traffic systems—from telco-grade SDP platforms to classifieds and banking services—while mentoring engineers in clean code and automated testing. As a founder and consultant he pairs product-facing discipline (specs, roadmaps, stakeholder alignment) with infrastructure-as-code and pragmatic integrations, having also driven tournament and chatbot platforms in modern cloud stacks. Collected experience working with offshore teams and deploying at scale gives him a rare combination of strategic architecture and day-to-day implementation chops.
