This is My Pattern

Hi, I’m Fethi and This is My Pattern.

I was born and raised in Istanbul, Türkiye and I graduated from Sabanci University with Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science and Engineering.

My career started in IT as a software developer at Garanti BBVA Teknoloji and I worked in the same company for 5 years. During my time at GT, I had my hands on programming languages like Java, C#, PL/I, and COBOL. I’m grateful for my years there as it was a great start to my career by delivering software in banking for millions of active customers.

I made a switch to platform engineering from software development in 2013. With a significant role in software delivery lifecycle for 100s of developers, I started to think about the bigger picture in software delivery and read more about solution architectures, design patterns and of course, DevOps!

Accenture offered me a DevOps Team Lead role in September 2015 and I moved to London, UK. I took part in many projects for various clients in Public, Healthcare, Retail, and Financial Services industry sectors over 7 years.

A leap of faith in June 2022 and I left my job at Accenture. I have been contracting as an AWS Solutions Architect since then. I am currently an AWS Solutions Architect @ eCreation Media Technology.

I have entered into 15th year of my career, throughout which I defined and led teams to use and adopt many software development and delivery patterns in AWS cloud. Thanks to the positive feedback I had from my leaders whom I look up to, I have got the motive to take two actions in 2024:

• Start this blog to share some of my software development and delivery patterns with the wider community.
• Xecuta start-up. I act as a director during my spare time as the company builds highly available, scalable and cost-effective Software-as-Service (SaaS).
