About

Hi, I’m Sevil Güler and I specialised in Computer & Network Security. I’m passionate about what I do, and I like to help people. I love being part of technology and being challenged with its growth. I'm motivated by trust and appreciate roles where I can take a lot of responsibility and develop in collaboration with other people. For over a decade, I have built expertise across various domains, including platform engineering, developer experience, DevOps, mobile, and backend development. I am passionate about driving automation and improving infrastructure to optimize performance, quality, security, and efficiency across the development lifecycle. From enhancing local development environments to streamlining continuous integration and delivery processes, I focus on creating seamless workflows. My experience spans mobile apps, backend systems, and platform optimization, and I am a fast learner who easily adapts to new technologies and challenges. As a Staff Engineer, I’ve had the opportunity to refine my leadership abilities further, particularly in guiding teams at a technical and strategic level. This role has strengthened my capacity to influence organizational decisions, drive architectural direction, and mentor engineers while maintaining a hands-on approach to technical challenges. I firmly believe in the power of trust and responsibility in driving successful outcomes. My approach to problem-solving centers on fostering creativity and focusing on solutions rather than dwelling on challenges. By promoting open communication and knowledge sharing, I strive to build stronger teams capable of overcoming any obstacle with resilience and efficiency. My core values are trust and respect. Given those two there is nothing I can’t achieve I believe.

  • As a Product Manager and Engineering Manager in the quality pillar of the developer experience product area, I was responsible for overseeing the development and improvement of quality control tools, managing a team, collaborating with stakeholders, and ensuring the timely delivery of high-quality products.
  • It was a short but fun experience. After my resignation, the team was dissolved due to other priorities. As part of my responsibility, I ensured that the engineers were allocated to other teams accordingly. With the help of my team, I wrapped up the work of the team and handled the transfer of ownership with multiple teams and product areas. I also lead to clarifying and reporting what needs to be done for the sake of code quality in the absence of a dedicated team.
