Hello! I’m Tolga Üstünkök — a DevOps Engineer at Türkiye İş Bankası, with a strong foundation in both Computer Engineering (undergraduate) and Software Engineering (graduate).
My current professional focus lies in monitoring systems and anomaly detection in time-series system metrics, where I bring both practical experience and a passion for precision. I specialize in designing scalable, reliable observability architectures that help detect and resolve issues proactively.
Background & Research
Previously, I was active in computer vision research, which continues to influence how I approach complex problems — blending mathematical rigor with software intuition. This technical diversity supports my day-to-day DevOps work, especially when modeling anomalies or building alerting pipelines.
Tech Stack & Interests
- Monitoring & Observability: Grafana, Telegraf, ELK, OpenTelemetry, Apache NiFi
- Infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible
- Programming: Python, Bash, Go
- Anomaly Detection: Time-series modeling, rule-based and statistical systems
Beyond Engineering
I’m also a semi-professional pianist and a Hacettepe University Part-time Guitar Department graduate (2009). Music has been a lifelong passion and a counterbalance to my technical career — helping me stay creative, focused, and grounded.
