About me

Born and raised in Istanbul, Turkey, I have been living in Hamburg, Germany since 2013. I have been working in the IT industry for over 10 years, specializing in System Administration and DevOps. At GitLab Professional Services, I am eager to help customers maximize their use of GitLab and unlock their full DevOps potential. My experience includes supporting customers in the following areas:

• Self-Managed GitLab Implementation, covering various topics such as Reference Architectures, GEO, and Disaster Recovery.
• Migration from different SCM or CI tools to GitLab, as well as migrations between GitLab instances or to gitlab.com.
• Creating reusable GitLab CI pipelines with build, test, deploy, and review templates, combined with Security and Code Quality Features.
• Providing advisory services on group/project structures, security, and permissions, including access tokens and Service Accounts.

Working hours

At GitLab, one can benefit from the flexibility that remote work provides. As a father, I strive to maximize these benefits while always considering customer schedules. My core working hours are 9-18h CET, but I am flexible with my availability.

Communication

I prefer asynchronous communication for its flexibility, especially since I have a young child at home. However, I am always happy to support customers with synchronous chats, as our most important value at GitLab Professional Services is achieving Results for Customers.
