Hi, I'm Onat Mercan 👋

Software Engineer & Open Source Enthusiast – I'm a Senior Platform Developer at Stack Overflow based in Cambridge, UK with a background in backend development and technical leadership. Previously, I worked as a Rust Backend Engineer at TrueLayer and a Technical Lead at Redgate Software, and I sharpened my skills working on large-scale projects at Hepsiburada. I hold advanced degrees in Computational Science & Engineering and Geomatics Engineering from Istanbul Technical University.

  • 💻 Tech Focus: I love building cloud-native solutions and I'm not tied to any single tech stack. I'm a huge Rustacean 🦀 but also develop in Go, C#, JavaScript, and TypeScript. My work often involves Kubernetes and DevOps tooling. What matters to me is solving problems with the best tools available.
  • 🌟 Interests: I'm passionate about open-source software and improving Developer Experience (DX). I enjoy researching new technologies and sharing knowledge.
  • 🚀 Currently: Working on platform engineering at Stack Overflow since 2022, helping build the infrastructure that serves millions of developers. Outside work you’ll find me raising my wonderful daughter, crafting small libraries, hacking on side projects, and giving back to open source.
