Hi, I’m Busra.

I help individuals and organizations design practical ways to navigate complexity and thrive in their environments.

a little about me

With over a decade of experience across startups and large organizations, I’ve managed multi-cloud infrastructures, developed incident management tools, and led teams through high-pressure challenges.

My focus has always been on the people behind the systems —whether through mentoring engineers, fostering cultures of learning, or leading group of individuals to have best experience of their careers.

Today, I combine these experiences to coach humans in their growth and help organizations optimize their systems with their people in mind.
