Ege Kaan Gürkan

I'm a Senior Software Engineer from Ankara, based in Munich, with 4+ years across cloud-native infrastructure and agentic LLM systems.

I currently build Transform Writer at Maltego, an agentic platform that turns API definitions into deployed transform servers in about 20 minutes, down from 2-3 weeks. Before that I built integrations and internal platforms there, and earlier ran Kubernetes clusters at 140+ nodes.

On the side I'm building BuildInsight, a developer-first platform that turns user feedback into shipped product improvements, and Stashling, which turns saved TikToks, Reels and Shorts into searchable cards.

I consider myself a builder at heart and enjoy turning technical challenges into tools people actually use.
