What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities in a dynamic environment.

I am a seasoned backend developer and technical lead with a strong focus on travel technologies, iGaming, property management, and localization platforms. Currently, I lead a cross-functional engineering team at TheCodebase.io, where I design and maintain high-throughput, low-latency platforms using PHP and Go. My work emphasizes microservice architectures that meet strict uptime and scalability requirements, ensuring performance, reliability, and fault tolerance in mission-critical environments.

Throughout my career, I have contributed to leading companies such as Enuygun, Missafir, and MotaWord, developing systems ranging from car rental APIs to SaaS-based property management solutions. I have deep experience in cloud-native environments, particularly with AWS, focusing on high availability and performance optimization through modern DevOps practices. My strong foundation in software architecture and team coordination allows me to deliver scalable, long-term solutions for fast-paced, evolving platforms.
