Eda Akturk
Brooklyn, New York
I make technical products easier to understand, use, and adopt.
My career path has been engineering → technical sales → developer relations → partner engineering, with stops at the World Bank, GE Healthcare, Cisco, and Hyperlane.
I joined Hyperlane as its first DevRel hire, then expanded into partner engineering.
I think a lot about what makes people try and adopt new technology. I occasionally write about these things and other stuff I’m interested in on my newsletter: Eda’s Substack.
