Software Developer

About

Over the last 5 years, I've built products that are not only functional, but able to grow. My focus is on large-scale projects, clear architecture, production stability, and measurable business impact. I primarily work with PHP/Laravel, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Elasticsearch. From high-volume platforms like Enuygun Sigorta to real-time fintech products like Monafy, I've taken end-to-end responsibility on multiple large projects. Outside of work, I keep building products. I created games like "Word Imposter" and "Vampire Village" for friends to use together, and I place them in my portfolio as a practical extension of product thinking, not just technical curiosity.
