Hakan Karadis is a seasoned software engineer with 11 years of experience building full-stack systems and operational tooling across startups and large tech firms in the Bay Area. He has driven end-to-end projects—from real-time TV ratings and revenue-generating product managers at Samba TV to CI/CD and visualization tooling at Apple—and now contributes to platform work at Meta. His strengths span backend services, automation, and data-heavy systems using Python, Node.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, Redis, and PostgreSQL, with hands-on experience in AWS, EKS, Docker, and protobuf-based streaming. Hakan’s open-source contributions include backend maintenance and refactors for the well-known koding/koding project, reflecting a pragmatic focus on ownership transfer, credentials, and long-term code health. He combines product-minded engineering with a track record of improving test coverage and release workflows, often taking sole ownership from prototype to production. With dual degrees and a history of cross-functional collaboration, he brings both systems depth and a knack for operationalizing complex data flows.
