From “How does this work?” to building the systems that do.

I've always been driven by a need to understand what's happening beneath the surface. That mindset naturally pulled me into infrastructure engineering, where I can focus on building the resilient, invisible layers that empower teams to move fast and safely, especially in SaaS environments.

My goal is to design systems that scale, and I enjoy sharing what I learn from the field at blog.taylan.dev.

• ⚙️ Resilient Infrastructure: Designing systems that are robust, scalable, and fault-tolerant.
• 🚀 Developer Velocity: Building platforms and CI/CD pipelines that enable teams to ship with confidence.
• 🔬 Deep Observability: Believing that you can't fix what you can't see.
• ⚡ My Mantra: "Is this how it works?" — a reminder to keep questioning, learning, and iterating.

Here are a few things I've built and shared:

• homelab: A personal home operations lab that runs on my own hardware, featuring GitOps practices and a variety of services.
• emacs-config: My personal Emacs configuration, tailored for efficient coding and writing.
• homelab-services: A collection of Rust-based services I run in my homelab, showcasing my approach to building efficient and reliable applications.
