About

👋 Hi! I’m @efekarakus, a sr. software engineer at Amazon Web Services from Istanbul, Turkey.

This blog is mainly for myself and contains lessons learned on software engineering and programming methodology that I want to continue remembering.

I joined Amazon in August 2015, after completing both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in computer science from UofI. Currently, I’m developing evaluation and experimentation tools to help product teams ¹ enhance the customer experience for Amazon Q Developer. Previously, I focused on improving the developer experience for containerized applications on AWS with the AWS Copilot CLI.

1. A two-pizza team in Amazon parlance – a small, focused group of engineers, scientists, and product managers with ownership and autonomy over a product. ↩
