@serkanozturk
I lead full-stack teams to architect scalable, high-performance systems with AI-ready solutions.
TurkeyWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Full-Stack Lead Developer and Software Architect with 15+ years of experience, focused on frontend architecture, backend integrations, payment systems, FinTech, and enterprise scalability. I’ve driven end-to-end product delivery while emphasizing performance optimization, maintainability, and reusable UI patterns across high-traffic platforms.
At Vodafone Türkiye, I led architecture and scalability planning, set code standards, and mentored frontend teams through technical reviews. I also helped improve development efficiency by adopting a UI component library (about 35% faster development), and I support integration quality through observability and reliability-driven architectural decisions—now extending that mindset into AI agentic development.
