Senior🎓
Top SchoolTaylan Ayken is a DevOps engineer with 14 years of systems and infrastructure experience and over seven years focused on Linux operations, automation and high-availability in FinTech, retail and enterprise environments. He has driven reliability and developer productivity at Amazon and Woven by Toyota, building automation to retire legacy systems, streamline peak-event prep, and manage company-wide DNS and developer tooling. Comfortable from bare metal to serverless, he blends hands-on automation (Cobbler, Puppet, Kubernetes-era tooling) with mentoring and change-management leadership—he served as an APAC CMBR and trained new engineers. Notable wins include award-winning legacy retirements, a database re-sharding automation MVP that cut operation time, and orchestration of large-scale migrations and backfills. Based in Chiyoda, Japan, he pairs a strong academic background (Tokyo Institute of Technology) with a practical penchant for testing new tools to reduce toil and increase observability.
