Summary
Eray Kalkan is a Senior Software Engineer based in Berlin with over nine years of backend and full‑stack experience building microservices and enterprise systems, primarily with Java, Spring Boot, Spring Cloud and related technologies. He has led architecture and infrastructure design for a nationwide e‑government platform and delivered AdTech automation tooling at Wayfair using reactive stacks, Kafka, and cloud-native deployment patterns.
