Summary
🤩
RockstarSoner Sayakci is a Principal Software Engineer based in Schöppingen, Germany with 11 years of experience building and hardening backend systems, developer tooling, and DevOps workflows. At Shopware he progressed from Core Developer to Principal, driving bug fixes, API work, build automation and release-readiness for a major Symfony/Vue e-commerce platform. He is a pragmatic open-source contributor focused on backend reliability and refactoring—examples include improving a self-hosted WakaTime-compatible backend, adding Nix-based devenv modules for databases and message brokers, and introducing automated refactors for PHP code. Comfortable across infrastructure, CI, and full-stack integration tasks, he combines deep Shopware domain knowledge with practical improvements that reduce operational friction. An often-overlooked strength is his knack for small, targeted fixes (auth, socket handling, config options) that materially increase system robustness.
