Platform engineer with 7 years building scalable systems — and the frontend craft to ship the full product, from infrastructure to interface.
I build systems that scale and interfaces people actually use.
Most engineers hand off at the API. I go further — building the cloud infrastructure, the pipelines, and the polished frontend that sits on top of it all.

Selected work
Work that feels more like a point of view than a template.
These are the kinds of concepts and interfaces I like making: stylish, conversion-aware, and distinct enough to actually be remembered.
GKE Microservices Platform
Designed and operated production Kubernetes clusters on Google Kubernetes Engine supporting microservices workloads for enterprise clients including HSBC, Zurich, and Deutsche Bank.
Story
High-stakes production platform work across some of the UK's largest financial institutions — where reliability isn't optional and every incident has real consequences.
What I focused on
Platform engineering, GKE operations, incident response
Interactive deep-dive
GKE Microservices Platform — behind the thinking
Services
Infrastructure that holds. Interfaces that land. Shipped end to end.
Platform engineering
Scalable cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes, microservices, and distributed systems — built to stay reliable under real load.
Product UI & frontend
Modern interfaces for products, internal tools, and web apps — built with the systems depth to know what the backend actually needs.
End-to-end builds
From infrastructure to interface. If you need someone who can own the full stack and ship something that works in production, that's the sweet spot.
Testimonials
What founders and teams say after working together.
“Mahir was a key team member who hugely contributed to the project's success. He could easily find solutions and workarounds using different software products. He is eager to help colleagues and has gone to great lengths to ensure that everything was clear and that we delivered the solution — receiving fantastic feedback from the client. He is super intelligent and knows his stuff; when you assign him a task, you know it is in good hands.”

MySQLI've spent 7 years building the platforms that keep production services running — Kubernetes clusters on GKE, GitOps-driven CI/CD pipelines, Terraform-managed infrastructure across GCP and AWS, and the incident response that holds it all together when things go wrong. Enterprise clients including HSBC, Zurich, and Deutsche Bank. Currently at Betfred.
I also build the frontend. Not as an afterthought — as a natural extension of understanding the full system. When I design an interface, I already know what the API can handle, how the infrastructure is shaped, and what will actually hold up under load. That end-to-end ownership produces work that is faster, more reliable, and easier to scale than anything built in isolation.
