Hi, I’m Deniz Ekin Daglar, a backend engineer based in Istanbul. I was the first hire at a high-growth startup and have built distributed backend systems in Python and Go that scale to tens of thousands of users. I have hands-on experience with AWS (DynamoDB, S3, Lambda), RabbitMQ, CI/CD with GitHub Actions, Stripe payments, and RevenueCat for subscriptions. I value clean code, testing, and end-to-end ownership, and I enjoy shipping fast, reliable APIs with measurable impact.…Hi, I’m Deniz Ekin Daglar, a backend engineer based in Istanbul.
