İrenSaltalı.

A generalistcomputer engineer in Ankara — writing about cloud, code & whatever else I’m curious about that quarter.

Currently building at the intersection of serverless, retrieval, and developer tools. Previously: mobile, payments, infra. MSc at ITU, AWS Community Builder, co-organizer of Cloud Turkey.

Field notes

The shortest path from an idea to something real is a terminal, a cursor, and an evening.

I keep a running notebook of things I notice at the boundary between software and the people using it. Most of these become posts; a few become products; the best ones become both.

My current bets: serverless is underrated for small teams; LLM tooling is five years behind the platforms it runs on; writing still compounds faster than code.
