Software Engineer
Building Systems That Matter
I began my tech journey at 16, building systems for local businesses in Ankara. By 20, from the 16th floor of an ISP, I was architecting solutions that would shape my career. Today, I design digital solutions that power international businesses. My experience spans from fighting hyperinflation with smart pricing systems to building real-time analytics that doubled company revenues. I don't just write code – I craft digital ecosystems that scale and evolve.

Freelance Developer | Self-employed | Early Career (2012 - 2018)
Started my coding journey at 16, partnering with a fellow teenage developer to build solutions for our local community. We were young, ambitious, and eager to prove ourselves. Between high school classes, we crafted ordering systems for neighborhood cafes, built inventory management tools for small shops, and designed websites for local businesses. These early projects, though simple by today's standards, taught me the fundamentals of solving real-world problems with code.
Looking back, we were learning as we went, figuring things out through trial and error. But the local business community was incredibly supportive, giving us chances to prove ourselves. The income from these projects (around $2500 in 2018) enabled us to upgrade from basic laptops to proper development machines, fueling our passion further. What started as teenage curiosity evolved into a clear career path, shaped by the trust of our first 15+ clients and over 20 successful projects.
Thank you, Ankara, for believing in two young developers with big dreams.

Notice: While I enjoy working with these technologies, I'm not bound by them. I can adapt to and learn new technologies as projects and challenges require.
