Senior🎓
Top SchoolMert Acar is a Senior Software Engineer based in London with eight years of experience building cloud-native systems, microservices, and operational tooling across both on-prem and cloud environments. He has shipped production Golang Kubernetes Operators and Python microservices that drive live streaming platforms and cross-cloud cost/usage pipelines, showing strength in API integrations, BigQuery analytics, and infrastructure-as-code. At Sky he reduced operational toil by automating guardrails for safer custom resource actions, fixed long-standing configuration issues, and mentored new engineers, demonstrating an emphasis on reliability and developer experience. He combines a rigorous academic foundation—a First-Class Honours in Computer Science from KCL—with pragmatic engineering, and brings a knack for turning messy operational problems (like flaky Puppet runs and environment build failures) into repeatable, automated solutions.
