01  About

Who I Am

I'm a Software Developer based in Ankara, Turkey. I specialize in building production-grade web applications end-to-end — designing and implementing REST APIs, microservices, and real-time backends, then connecting them to polished, responsive frontends.

My primary backend language is Go (Fiber, Gin), complemented by Java/Spring Boot for enterprise patterns. On the frontend I work primarily with Next.js, React, and TypeScript. I have deep hands-on experience with auth systems (JWT, Supabase, Firebase), caching (Redis), real-time messaging (WebSocket, RabbitMQ), and secret management (HashiCorp Vault).

Beyond traditional web, I'm active in Web3 — I've written and deployed Solidity smart contracts on Mande Network, built wallet-connected dApps, and stored decentralized media on IPFS. I enjoy deep-diving into architecture and shipping things that actually work in production.

Fraud Detection System
Real-time financial fraud detection platform with a rule-based analysis engine. Transactions are streamed through RabbitMQ, analyzed for suspicious patterns, and results are pushed to the frontend instantly via WebSocket. Redis handles caching for high-throughput rule lookups, all data persisted in MongoDB. Fully containerized with Docker Compose for single-command deployment.
