Senior🎓
Top SchoolSakir Temel is a founder and engineering leader with 11 years of experience building and scaling software teams, processes, and products across startups and enterprise environments. He has led engineering organizations from hands-on development to director-level roles, notably growing a 30-person software house, creating the Engineering Manager function, and driving OKR-based delivery. Sakir blends deep technical fluency (Ruby on Rails, high-availability architectures, DevOps) with people-first leadership—promoting mentorship, feedback loops, and measurable culture change. He has a track record of turning messy legacy operations into repeatable, efficient delivery engines while remaining active in technical work and architecture. Based in Warsaw, he combines self-taught pragmatism with formal CS education and a knack for simplifying complex systems into actionable models. Less obvious: he repeatedly pairs product-facing engineering with sales and customer success involvement, attending hundreds of customer calls to align technical solutions with business outcomes.
