Summary
Mert Meral is a Senior Full Stack Engineer based in Kadikoy, Istanbul with over 15 years in software development and more than seven years leading engineering teams. He specializes in designing and shipping cloud-native, microservices architectures using Java, Spring Boot, Kubernetes/OpenShift, Docker, and modern front-ends like React, with hands-on experience integrating Keycloak for SSO and OAuth2. Mert has repeatedly driven monolith-to-microservice migrations, built CI/CD pipelines, and operated distributed systems with Consul, Elasticsearch, Postgres and ELK for observability. His background spans telecom and enterprise domains—from Alcatel-Lucent and Turkcell to travel and insurance platforms—bringing deep operational insight alongside feature delivery. Colleagues rely on him for mentoring and pragmatic architecture decisions, and an unusual practical touch is his tooling work (e.g., an SSH agent in Go and NLP for log triage) that streamlines debugging and deployment.
