About Me
I'm a backend-focused Full-Stack Software Engineer based in Ankara. I graduated from Yıldız Technical University with a degree in Geomatic Engineering in 2022, then moved into software driven by my interest in building digital products. I currently work as a Software Engineer at Sebit Education and Information Technologies.
Over 4+ years I've built production systems with Java and Spring Boot, plus Node.js/Express.js on the backend and Angular/React on the frontend. I design microservice and modular monolith architectures, work with PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis and Elasticsearch on the data side and with RabbitMQ and Kafka for messaging. I cover services with JUnit and Mockito tests, containerize them with Docker and ship them through GitHub Actions and Jenkins pipelines.
I care about distributed architecture, clean code and testable software. Whether it's a backend service, a frontend interface or a command-line tool, I approach every project with attention to detail and a focus on delivering real value.
