About Emre

Passionate about problem-solving and a specialist in technical consulting, I excel at tackling challenges in embedded systems, cloud infrastructure, and beyond, employing an integrated functional approach. My macro perspective, combined with meticulous attention to detail, enables me to develop robust technical specifications tailored to each specific project. I am committed to delivering integrated and effective solutions that provide significant added value to my clients.

With extensive technical experience, including REST APIs, NodeJS/Electron, HTML, QML, QT Webview, C++, WIFI, Docker, Kubernetes, MQTT, routers, TCP/IP, DBUS, CAN, Cloud, SSL/TLS, OAuth2, Linux, and kernel, I successfully coordinate and manage international teams of over 15 people, comprising POs, developers, tech leads, architects, experts, and testers.

Specializing in the development of functional and technical specifications in close collaboration with business stakeholders, I ensure alignment between objectives and business needs. From managing project budgets and KPIs to assessing risks during software integration and deployment, I also oversee testing teams and lead projects for migrating and integrating infrastructure from AWS to GCP.

My involvement in the development, integration, and deployment of the Amazon Alexa service, with rigorous implementation of automation, versioning, and logging to facilitate continuous deployment and incident management, demonstrates my proactive and meticulous approach.

I also have experience training clients on market solutions such as QT Squish, Valgrind, JIRA, and others.

By choosing me, you are selecting a key partner for the success of your complex technical projects.
