Hi, I am Ahmet!

I am a software engineer at Google Cloud, working as a developer advocate who creates tools and designs experiences for developers.

Most of my work is open source, as I create tools and content for the cloud-native technologies and Kubernetes developer communities.

I am currently working on Cloud Run and Kubernetes (GKE).

If you happen to speak Turkish, check out my YouTube channel, where I explain modern infrastructure and cloud-native technologies.

runsd ^NEW! : Missing service discovery layer for Google Cloud Run.
Google Cloud Run Button : click-to-deploy any GitHub repository to GCP.

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