Full Stack Web & AI Developer
Bursa, Turkey
I design and build high-performance web applications and AI-powered systems that operate reliably in real-world production environments. By combining strong software engineering fundamentals with computer vision and machine learning, I turn complex backend architectures into scalable, maintainable products with refined and meaningful user experiences.
A Forward Pass
A live diagram of how signal moves from input to output through a network. The weights are fixed; the activations are computed for real on every frame, and every lit path is the result of that arithmetic.

What I Build
I architect and ship software that balances technical excellence with business value.
Scalable Applications
High-performance, type-safe Next.js architectures built for scale and long-term maintainability.
AI-Native Interfaces
Embedding LLMs into fluid UIs to solve complex workflows beyond simple chat interfaces.
Modern Design Systems
Custom component libraries and polished micro-interactions that elevate brand perception.
Engineering Approach
My methodology centers on shipping reliable software that solves actual problems.
Production First
Code isn't done until it's running reliably in users' hands. I prioritize stability.
Minimalist Complexity
I fight unnecessary abstraction to keep systems simple, understandable, and robust.
User-Centric Performance
Speed and fluidity are features. I build for instant interactions and zero jank.

An AI-powered mobile app that logs spending from plain text and pools a whole family’s budget in one place. Live on the App Store and Google Play.
- Problem
- Budget apps make you fill out forms; most people quit after a few weeks.
- Solution
- Type "250 groceries" and the assistant does the rest — logging now takes seconds.
