Summary
Harun Zengin is a Senior Software Engineer based in Berlin with nine years of experience building high-throughput distributed systems, especially in process mining, big data and energy storage telemetry. He designs and operates real-time pipelines and Cassandra-backed architectures at sonnen, contributing to open-source Elixir tooling and improving leader election and fault tolerance in production. Comfortable across Elixir, Rust, Scala and AWS, he has a track record of moving data from hot Cassandra clusters to cold storage for analytics and ML while cutting costs. Beyond product work he has led rapid-response civic-tech projects—directing a 10-person team that delivered a national-scale ticketing platform in weeks and helped distribute 30,000 bus tickets after the 2023 earthquakes. He pairs systems-level thinking with a penchant for functional programming and embedded-style efficiency, making him equally at home optimizing databases or designing execution engines.
