Hello!

Through Many is a newsletter for leaders who want to accomplish great things through many others. Each issue highlights insights from experienced leaders and explores how trust, empathy and curiosity multiply impact.

I’m Mustafa Torun, a Senior Principal Engineer at Amazon Web Services with more than 20 years of experience building systems and growing teams. Since 2013 I’ve worked on foundational services in monitoring, event-driven architecture and large-scale operational automation. I helped guide CloudWatch Logs through massive growth and was the first engineer on what became AWS EventBridge. Before AWS I co-founded one of Turkey’s first online flower delivery services and worked full stack for a hedge fund during my PhD in statistical signal processing.

I started Through Many to share what matters most to me: the human side of engineering and leadership. How we build trust. How we lead. How we create environments where people and systems can thrive. You can read more on this on my very first post here.

If you’d like to collaborate, share feedback or just say hello, you can reach me here or on LinkedIn.

Opinions are my own.
