What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a dynamic role where I can leverage my backend expertise and grow my skills.

I'm a dedicated backend software engineer with a strong foundation in developing scalable and efficient systems. My journey began at Eastern Mediterranean University, where I earned my Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering with Honours. Since then, I have honed my skills through hands-on experience at Trendbox, where I contributed to a retail sales and inventory management application, collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver core backend features using Go, GORM, and PostgreSQL.

My work has not only improved system performance but also enhanced user experience through secure authentication and advanced reporting features. I take pride in my ability to optimize services using Docker and CI/CD pipelines, significantly reducing deployment times. I have also led projects that involved real-time data processing and web scraping, showcasing my versatility and commitment to leveraging technology for impactful solutions.
