Senior🎓
Top SchoolSerkan Yildirim is a seasoned staff software engineer and tech lead with over 15 years of experience designing and shipping scalable, secure full‑stack systems across finance, aviation, telco, logistics, and retail. He blends deep hands‑on expertise in TypeScript/JavaScript, React, Node.js and PostgreSQL with platform and cloud architecture work (AWS EC2/ECS, API Gateway, OpenSearch) to drive resilient, high‑throughput services—recently supporting baggage processing at scale for 170M bags a year. Serkan is as comfortable leading architecture reviews and hiring (120+ interviews) as he is implementing module federation, OIDC PKCE authentication flows, and shared design systems that improve developer experience. He has a track record of modernizing legacy systems to reduce latency dramatically while enabling teams through clear boundaries and strong mentorship. Based in Greater Vancouver, he pairs disciplined technical judgment with an uncommon off‑mat pursuit—practicing self‑defense—to maintain focus and calm under pressure.
