Hi, I'm Ferit 👋

I'm an Engineering Manager passionate about building exceptional digital experiences and nurturing high-performing engineering teams. Currently leading development teams at Redcare Pharmacy, where we're transforming healthcare accessibility for millions of customers.

In Brief

My Journey

My path in technology began during my Computer Science studies at TU Berlin, where I discovered my passion for web development. Over the past decade, I've evolved from crafting code to crafting teams.

At Redcare Pharmacy, I lead a dynamic group of 20 engineers across four cross-functional teams. We've achieved remarkable results, including:

Architecting a modern micro front-end infrastructure that boosted conversion rates by 3%
Implementing engineering practices that doubled developer productivity
Creating robust frameworks for technical decision-making in distributed teams

Previously, at Zalando SE, I helped shape the future of online fashion as a Senior Software Engineer, working on innovative frontend solutions that serve millions of customers daily. I also founded the Muslim Employee Resource Group, which grew to over 250 members, highlighting my commitment to fostering inclusive tech communities.

My earlier roles at pro!vision GmbH and Fraunhofer FOKUS Institute laid the foundation for my technical expertise, where I developed everything from enterprise-level applications for Volkswagen to cutting-edge smart home solutions.

I'm passionate about sharing experiences and insights with the tech community. Here are some of my recent speaking engagements:
