What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can improve performance at scale, lead end-to-end feature delivery in an agile team, and grow into technical leadership while collaborating cross-functionally.

I am a computer engineer and full-stack software developer with hands-on experience optimizing high-traffic web applications and leading features from design to deployment. I improved a critical codepath to boost performance efficiency by 62% and have developed 10+ core product features that improved user retention.

I have worked across startups and university labs, shipping production systems such as an institutional Pre-Registration Application and a Digital Tender System, and contributing to a major e-commerce platform's UI and performance. I manage the full SDLC using Jira-driven sprints and collaborate with cross-functional partners, including Türk Telekom, on scalability and concurrency practices.

I communicate fluently in Turkish and English, present products to investors, and emphasize rigorous testing, SEO engineering, and systems design to reduce errors and improve discoverability and performance.
