Furkan Bayraktar is an engineering team lead and founder with 12+ years building full-stack systems and leading teams from Stockholm. He specializes in Clojure/ClojureScript (8 years), but brings broad backend and mobile experience across Java, Python, Go, JavaScript and Swift, and has architected complex cloud systems on AWS, Google Cloud and Firebase. As Co-Founder/CTO of Scrintal and co-developer of the Polylith architecture, he blends product-minded startup leadership with deep open-source craftsmanship that emphasizes functional system design. He’s practiced in Shape Up, Kanban, hiring and mentorship, and has repeatedly turned ambiguous, creative problems into maintainable platforms—from ad-publishing systems to developer tooling. Notably, his work on Polylith and related tooling signals a focus on scalability and testability at the system level rather than just component-level optimization.
