Fatih Kadir Akın

Developer Advocate at Automattic for WordPress, GitHub Star, and software developer with more than 19 years of experience.

I work at the intersection of open source, free software, developer experience, community building, and AI-assisted software development. My GitHub username is f, and open source has been a core part of my professional identity for many years.

Throughout my career, I have cared not only about building software, but also about sharing knowledge and helping communities grow. Since around 2012, I have spoken at conferences and community events in Türkiye and internationally, covering topics such as the JavaScript ecosystem, open-source projects, developer tools, productivity, and the evolving role of AI in software development.

For me, free software is not only about access to source code. It is also about openness, collaboration, learning in public, and building sustainable communities around shared values. Through my work, talks, and projects, I try to contribute to a more accessible, transparent, and community-driven technology culture.
