I'm a frontend engineer with 7+ years of experience building performant, accessible, and internationalized web applications using JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and Next.js. I specialize in designing scalable UI architectures, optimizing rendering pipelines, and delivering robust end-user experiences that work seamlessly across browsers and devices.

I've worked on everything from component libraries and SEO-driven content platforms to internationalized products with dynamic routing and middleware.

I enjoy solving complex UI/UX problems, improving developer tooling, and contributing to codebases with a clean, maintainable mindset. I’m particularly comfortable working in startup and async-friendly remote environments, where autonomy and initiative are valued.

Aside from web engineering, I'm deeply interested in:

JavaScript internals
Performance debugging
UI/UX principles, accessibility, and frontend system design
Helping teams adopt TypeScript, testing best practices, and scalable file structures

I'm actively looking for remote frontend roles (preferably React-based) with strong engineering culture, well-structured codebases, and meaningful user impact. Based in Ankara, Turkey, I’m fully remote-capable and timezone-aligned with European teams.
