I've built and maintained full-stack features for Mobymax, a US-based EdTech SaaS serving 80M+ users. I optimized PHP 8.2 and Go services, React features, MySQL data models, complex SQL queries, dashboards, search with ElasticSearch, and SSR charts.

Before Mobymax, I built internal systems at Sabancı University, including laboratory equipment, safety, committee, and research-funding platforms, and created containerized infrastructure with Docker and Traefik. I've also delivered high-traffic media, gaming, advertising, e-commerce, and social application features using PHP frameworks and API integrations.
