Summary
Osman Akkuş is a pragmatic software engineer with 10 years of experience building and optimizing backend systems, currently contributing to Zalando through Zoolatech while based in Istanbul. He specializes in Java and Python, with deep hands-on experience in Spring Boot, AWS Serverless (Lambda, Step Functions), Kubernetes, CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code using Terraform/Terragrunt. Osman has led cross-functional teams to migrate legacy services to cloud-native architectures, improved performance using observability and load testing, and maintained strong testing discipline with JUnit5 and automated pipelines. He pairs an engineer’s attention to detail with mentoring and code-review practices, having regularly run pair-programming sessions and onboarded junior developers. An often-overlooked strength is his blend of front-end migration experience (React) and back-end serverless design, which helps him bridge product and infrastructure concerns effectively.
