Orkun Çakılkaya

Senior Full-Stack & Developer Experience Engineer with more than a decade of experience building the integrations, SDKs, and tooling that teams rely on to adopt complex products. At Fingerprint I own the Akamai and Fastly (VCL & Compute) edge proxy integrations that let enterprises serve device intelligence first-party from their own CDN, maintain the PHP and Java Server API SDKs, and contribute core features to the React, Angular, and Svelte client SDKs. I’m equally at home writing Terraform and edge-runtime code as I am building production React interfaces, and I care deeply about clean APIs, reproducible infrastructure, automated releases, and the developer experience around all of them.

Akamai Proxy Integration (primary author): built and maintain the integration on Akamai Property Manager (PAPI) rule templates that proxy both identification requests and the JavaScript agent through the customer’s own domain to defeat client-side blockers — with both Terraform and PAPI-patching deployment paths and secret-based request authentication.
