Developer Relations

Eda Akturk

I write and build things that help developers get started with new technologies.

About

I started out as an engineer, with stops at the World Bank, GE Healthcare, and Cisco. Currently I work on product/ecosystem at Hyperlane, and write release notes on substack, weekly-ish. I live in Brooklyn, New York.
