I'm a Full Stack Engineer based in Istanbul, Turkey, with a B.S. in Computer Engineering from Altinbaş University. I specialize in building scalable web applications using modern technologies like Django, React, and AWS.

Currently working at PLAEX Technologies, I focus on optimizing system performance, architecting real-time solutions, and implementing zero-downtime deployments. My experience spans full-stack development, cloud infrastructure, and creating innovative solutions that drive business value.
