Hi, I am Ahmet!

I work as a software engineer at Twitter compute infrastructure and platform team, helping design the next generation of Twitter's internal compute.

In the past, I have worked for Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure, primarily on container-based cloud services and open source projects (see my prior work).

If you happen to speak Turkish, check out my YouTube channel, where I aim to advance discussions on infrastructure technologies and explain cloud-native concepts.

Previous work

I worked for Google Cloud from 2017 to 2021 on container-based developer services and platforms like Cloud Run and Kubernetes Engine (GKE). In addition to my internal work, I have built open source projects that help tens of thousands of developers around the world. Some examples from my GitHub profile:

• kubectx : a popular tool to alternate between Kubernetes clusters.
• krew : official plugin manager for kubectl.
• grpc-health-probe : a gRPC health-check tool for Kubernetes.
• Google microservices-demo : Google's reference app for demonstrating cloud-native technologies (also the top-starred GCP repo!)
• kubectl-tree : A tool to explore Kubernetes object hierarchy.
• runsd : missing service discovery layer for Google Cloud Run.
• Cloud Run Button : click-to-deploy any GitHub repo to Google Cloud Run.

I worked for Microsoft Azure from 2012 to 2016. I delivered various open source projects for supporting the Linux ecosystem on Azure compute platform.

During my time at Microsoft, I have started and shipped projects like:

• Azure Go SDK
• Porting of Docker.exe client to Windows
• C#/.NET SDK for Docker
• ASP.NET Official Docker Image
• Azure Container Registry
• docker-machine for Azure

I am also the designer of the Microsoft employee badges in use today.
