Hey there, I am Mert Acikportali.
Currently an SRE @New Relic, ex-SRE of @trivago, @Siemens and @SONY.
I started my career as a backend engineer before shifting into SRE, which means I don’t just keep systems running, I understand what’s running under the hood. That transition was one of the best decisions I’ve made: building reliable, automated, and observable systems is where I thrive.
Outside of work, you’ll likely find me creating pixel art 👾, drumming 🥁, or perfecting my risotto recipe 🍝 — it’s serious business.
