How I got here

I first became interested in software in middle school. Seeing a few lines of code make a computer respond so directly made me curious about what was happening underneath, so I started learning C.

In high school, that curiosity turned into building websites and taking on small webmaster jobs. During my university preparatory year and the pandemic that followed, I moved toward backend and full-stack development. As a freelancer, I worked on payment systems, dashboards for IoT data, and CRM-style internal tools for different organizations. I also took part in several hackathons: zkPoke won first place at NoirHack, and neurotrade.eth won the 1inch partner prize at ETHGlobal Cannes.

My Industrial Engineering education at METU taught me to treat software as part of a larger operating process: who makes each decision, where work waits, how information moves, and what the system is actually optimizing.

Today, I work across the backend, frontend, and infrastructure of web and mobile products, with most of my focus on backend engineering and system architecture. I enjoy understanding what the product needs, designing and implementing the right solution, and evolving it as those needs change.
