Özhan Efe Meral
@ozhanefemeral
Performance-obsessed engineer specializing in TypeScript and React.
What I'm looking for
I'm a dedicated Software Engineer with a strong focus on performance and scalability. Over the past few years, I've honed my skills in TypeScript and React while working in fully remote, international teams. My experience spans various roles, where collaboration and clear communication have been essential to my success.
At the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, I utilized React, TypeScript, and GraphQL to enhance our Gatsby framework, achieving a 50% reduction in build times through innovative serverless functions. My previous roles at put.io and nuop.com allowed me to refine my skills in code optimization and user experience design, consistently delivering high-quality, responsive applications.
With a solid foundation in both front-end and back-end technologies, I am passionate about creating scalable architectures and improving code quality through rigorous testing and code reviews. I thrive in environments that challenge my skills and foster professional growth.
