About Tugberk Ugurlu
Top Picks for Software Engineering
I'm a Senior Staff Software Engineer at Deliveroo, where I work on the architecture and evolution of consumer-facing platform systems.
I've been building software professionally for over 16 years, with 11 of those in the UK. My career has spanned a range of engineering contexts: from building database development tools at Redgate Software in Cambridge, to working on platform infrastructure at Meta in London, to leading consumer systems architecture at Deliveroo across two separate stints.
My work involves system architecture, distributed systems, and real-world product delivery. I care about building systems that are correct, reliable, and operable under real conditions. Over the years this has meant designing event-sourced platforms, leading the decomposition of legacy systems, building search infrastructure, optimising database queries, and designing data pipelines. I've shipped code across many internal services and spent a lot of time in production -- both building monitoring and responding to incidents.
I'm the author of Pro ASP.NET Web API: HTTP Web Services in ASP.NET (Apress, 2013). I was a Microsoft MVP for seven consecutive years (2012-2019) for contributions to Microsoft development technologies. I've spoken at 12 international engineering conferences including NDC London, NDC Oslo, muCon London, NewCrafts Paris, and CodeMash, and I've published over 200 technical articles on my blog.
I live in London, and I'm a big F1 🏎 fan. I also love travelling to explore new unknowns 🛫🛬! Côte d'Azur is my favourite place among those that I visited 🌊
