About
I'm Berkan Düzgün, a systems architect focused on software platforms where technical decisions have direct business consequences.
I've spent over a decade inside e-commerce and enterprise systems — primarily Adobe Commerce (Magento), but also Salesforce, Intershop, and custom-built platforms. My work has ranged from hands-on engineering to technical leadership, across agencies, in-house teams, and global marketplaces such as Toptal and Arc.
For several years, I was an official Adobe instructor for Magento 2 development, training engineers internationally. I've led teams, defined architectural direction, and taken responsibility for decisions that either compound into long-term stability or quietly turn into technical debt.
I've worked on platforms such as Body&Fit, Riviera Maison, Plutosport, FLO, and Penti — environments where downtime, performance issues, or architectural missteps translate directly into lost revenue and operational friction.
Over time, a pattern became hard to ignore: most of the expensive problems I was brought in to fix were preventable. They originated upstream — in platform choices, system boundaries, integration strategies, and early architectural assumptions that no longer held under real load.
That's where I focus now.
I work upstream of implementation, helping teams reason through architectural trade-offs before they become costly to reverse. This includes system evaluations, platform selection, boundary definition, and decision support around complex integrations and long-term sustainability.
I run Aize, a small practice focused on technical advisory and architecture work. Based in Europe, I work with teams where the software decisions genuinely matter.
