Betül Krezan
@betlkrezan
Results-driven Backend Engineer with expertise in scalable system design.
What I'm looking for
I’m a backend software engineer with 4+ years of experience building scalable, high-performance systems using GoLang, AWS, and event-driven architectures. My core strength lies in designing clean, modular microservices that can handle real-world scale and complexity.
My technical stack includes:
🔁 GoLang, gRPC, Kafka for robust service communication
☁️ AWS (Lambda, Step Functions, RDS, DynamoDB, EKS) for cloud-native deployments
🔧 Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform for scalable infrastructure and automation
📊 MySQL, GraphQL, REST APIs for data and interface layers
I’ve contributed to building reliable APIs for high-traffic systems, supported zero-downtime data migrations, and helped improve platform stability through careful backend development and collaboration with cross-functional teams.
While Go is my primary language, I'm open to using NodeJS/TypeScript where it fits the architecture or team needs. I thrive in agile, collaborative teams and love working on systems where performance and reliability truly matter.
💡 Looking for backend roles focused on GoLang, microservices, AWS, and distributed/event-driven systems — ideally in high-growth, engineering-driven environments.
Based in Turkey, working EU hours — open to remote positions.
