Software Engineer interested in creating efficient solutions for difficult problems.
What I'm looking for
I'm a passionate Software Engineer with a focus on developing efficient solutions for complex challenges. Currently pursuing my Bachelor's in Computer Engineering at Istanbul Technical University, I have a strong foundation in modern web and mobile development, particularly with Typescript. My recent project involved building a cross-platform self-custodial hardware-level-secure crypto wallet for Ethereum payments, where I led a team of six engineers, applying industry standards for CI/CD, code reviews, and app development.
During my internship at Meta, I successfully completed a project ahead of schedule, enhancing internal tools for WhatsApp Help Center. My dedication to quality and efficiency was recognized when I became a finalist for the Best Security award at ETHDam 2024 for my decentralized password manager project. I thrive in collaborative environments and have a proven track record of delivering high-quality results under tight deadlines.
