What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a full-time full-stack role where I can ship end-to-end features with Node.js, React, and Python, collaborate in an agile team, and keep improving backend quality and frontend UX—while bringing my teaching experience to help the team grow.

I’m a junior full-stack developer currently building end-to-end product features at VIE (Virtual Integration Experience) using Node.js for the backend, React for the frontend, and Python throughout the stack. I work closely with co-founders in an agile startup setting, contribute to architecture and sprint planning, and keep CI/CD and code quality strong through reviews.

Before that, I strengthened my backend foundation through an ERP internship with ASP.NET Core/C#, where I implemented RESTful API endpoints, applied SOLID principles, and added xUnit tests for critical business logic. I also teach Python to 10+ students aged 8–17 at Algorithmics Istanbul, improving completion rates by ~20%, and I’ve built ML and full-stack projects like an ANN stock forecasting model and a JWT-authenticated book catalog web app.
