About
My primary responsibility is to develop and sustain the server-side logic and database systems, facilitating efficient data storage, retrieval, and processing for online and mobile applications. Beyond work, my interests span various activities such as playing the guitar, cooking, camping, and traveling worldwide. I also have a keen interest in physics, astronomy, music, pets, mechanical timepieces, and cryptocurrency. In a significant life change, towards the end of 2022, we made the move from Istanbul to Mugla City, marking a new chapter for us. This transition was a first, driven by our appreciation for tranquility and the outdoors. In our new location, we relish simpler and brighter days.

The final four years of my development career were spent working as a Senior Full-Stack Developer.
