My name is Engin Polat (pronouns, he/him ๐โโ๏ธ), I'm based in Seattle area, beautiful city Sammamish ๐
I'm a versatile Software Engineer with over 20 years of comprehensive experience, focused on working with challenging projects and learning while working.
I'm currently working at my dream job as a Senior Software Engineer in Microsoft. I actively contribute to projects that make cloud development smoother for everyone.
I work for Microsoft because it is a great place to work where I can use my skills and talents to make a difference. Microsoft offers excellent job satisfaction, a chance to work on cutting-edge technology, and a chance to make a real difference in the world.
I enjoy working on projects that are important to the company and that have a real impact on the world. I feel that my work is meaningful and that I am making a contribution to the company.
I like the constantly learning new things and working on new projects.
Microsoft is also a great place to work because of the people. The people at Microsoft are some of the smartest, most talented, and most driven people I have ever met. I feel fortunate to be able to work with such talented and passionate people.
I'm working with the biggest enterprises and communities all around the world, trying to solve their most sophisticated problems with scalable and future-proof solutions ๐
