What I'm looking for

I am seeking a dynamic role where I can leverage my game development expertise and lead innovative projects that challenge the status quo.

I am a passionate Lead Developer with extensive experience in game development and innovative technology solutions. My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering from İzmir Ekonomi Üniversitesi, where I honed my skills in software development and user-centered design. Over the years, I have led teams to create award-winning applications, including an educational app for children that aligns with Montessori principles, significantly enhancing user engagement and learning outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have worked with various companies, including Codeminer and PiagmoTechnology, where I spearheaded the development of multiple successful projects. My expertise in Unity 3D, C#, and data-driven growth strategies has allowed me to optimize user experiences and drive significant adoption rates across global markets. I thrive in collaborative environments, leveraging cross-functional teamwork to deliver high-quality products that meet user needs and exceed expectations.
