About Me

I worked as a software engineer in different business lines and on different projects for 7 years. My areas of expertise are; rest services, databases, web framework, system design. Apart from these, I learn the technology/tools I need when I need them. Researching and learning is the professional activity I enjoy most. I am a team player and a harmonious teammate.

What I Do

Database

To say information is to speak of databases. During the initial years of my profession, I extensively engaged with t-sql queries. Indeed, I delved into them so deeply that, even after I deleted my blog post about pivot tables, it remained listed at the top index on Google for a long time. I have worked with all sorts of databases - relational, document-based, or cache. Everyone is as fast as they are indexed.

Web

Now, we come to the mischievous child of my career. There's no doubt it has offered me numerous opportunities. The WEB, which typically backend developers despise but with which I have a nuanced relationship. I only write for the web in emergencies. I don't enjoy writing CSS. I prefer using what has already been written. My most recent web project involved rewriting a product detail page from scratch according to SEO optimization. It turned out to be a great project, with non-brand clicks increasing by up to 4 times in some countries and up to 100 times in others. Yes, countries :) It was a development of global scale for Delivery Hero (known as Yemeksepeti in TR).

API

There were topics we needed to discuss regarding the database, and I addressed these through the API services I developed. Without a doubt, a significant portion of my career has been devoted to backend development, which is both my favorite and most passionate area. I have participated in various architectures and projects. Depending on the needs, I've written microservices, event-based, and monolithic projects in changing infrastructures. If you haven't implemented response caching for your district-city-neighborhood table, I'd say just jot it down in your diary.

devOps

I've had the opportunity to gain experience exclusively in my own projects. Generally, I'm deeply interested in Linux, Docker, CI/CD, Jenkins, GitHub or GitLab actions, and currently, I'm closely engaged with AWS. Typically, companies have professionals who specialize in these areas. For me, it's both a hobby and a passion. These days, I'm savoring my coffee in the magical world of AWS

Mobile

Initially, I was interested in Android app development at university but lost interest later. Last year, I returned to mobile development with a startup project. I developed the Taxisst app using React Native. It seems like it's made by a team, but it's just us. We aim to be known in Turkey as the first to launch a shared taxi app.

High School

I attended high school in Dörtyol, Hatay. Even in high school, I was very curious about computers. We used to play Knight Online until the early hours of the morning. Oh, those were the days :) I remember the first day I made a calculator in high school as if it was yesterday. It was a magical day!

Delivery Hero & Yemeksepeti

Fullstack Dev

For three years, I was involved in numerous teams and projects. For the first (almost) 1.5 years, I participated in the Banabi project (which has now become a market). Recently, I worked on global developments for DH's web project. The biggest project I undertook was rewriting a product detail page from scratch to be SEO-friendly. The effects were incredible. Non-brand clicks increased by 4-5 times. Then, I was laid off. Working at Yemeksepeti was like a dream I didn’t want to wake up from...
