Summary
Erkan Çetinkaya is a Senior DevOps Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience building and operating cloud-native and on-premise infrastructure, currently shaping platform reliability at Zip Türkiye. He blends software development and middleware expertise—Python OOP, SDLC, and low-scale application development—with deep systems skills in Kubernetes, Linux, Terraform, and Ansible to deliver automations, HA architectures and S3-compatible storage solutions. His background spans finance and large-scale e‑commerce platforms (ING Türkiye, n11.com) where he focused on cluster tuning, observability, logging and resilient networking using Nginx, AWS VPC/EKS, Route53 and Elasticache. A self-described automation lover and “Kubernetes guru,” he brings practical experience across both cloud and private datacenters and a knack for turning manual ops into repeatable Infrastructure-as-Code. Notably, his career path reflects a transition from full‑stack and billing assurance roles into platform engineering, giving him uncommon visibility into application-to-infrastructure workflows.
