Frontend Developer
Manisa, Turkey
I build interfaces with React, Next.js and TypeScript, with AI in the workflow, and since mid-2026 I have been designing and shipping my own products.
2022 – 2025 · Full-time
Three and a half years building interfaces with React, Next.js and TypeScript at startups and enterprise companies, mostly on SaaS products. Mostly I was taking products from zero to shipped: standing up the codebase, choosing the state and data layers, and carrying features through to release.
2026 – · Independent
Since mid-2026 I have been building my own products: design, frontend, data pipelines, deployment. I have shipped five of them so far: four websites and one iOS app. All of them are free. Alongside them I built one website as freelance work for a client.
Right now I am working on new ideas on top of these.
AI is a daily part of my workflow, not an occasional experiment. There is no getting away from it now, so I brought it into how I work. That means Claude Code and Cursor constantly, and keeping up with what is new: scaffolding, refactors, reading an API I do not know, writing tests and reviewing code all go through them. I use it like every other tool I reach for, to move faster on the parts that are known so there is more time for the parts that are not; architecture and review stay with me, and code I have not read never goes live.
Technologies I work with
Four websites and one iOS app, all live, all free; I designed, built and shipped every one of them solo since mid-2026.
The KKTC Official Gazette is published only as PDF. This crawls every issue since 2020, splits it into individual records and makes 24,000+ of them full-text searchable in Turkish. Anyone can follow a topic, institution or company by e-mail or RSS and get notified the moment a new record matches.
Which pharmacy is on duty tonight in Northern Cyprus. One-tap call and directions straight from the map. It drops into any site as an iframe widget with a chosen accent colour.
Is the power out in my area, and when does it come back? A live outage map of Northern Cyprus where every dot is a settlement. The utility publishes nothing usable, so the site reads five local news outlets instead and turns their announcements into one structured record per outage, with an RSS feed and a subscribable calendar for every district.
An iOS app where you write a secret anonymously and leave it at the place you are standing. No profile, no followers, no notifications, no ads, no trackers; the only way in is Sign in with Apple. Your location is rounded to within a set number of kilometres before it leaves the phone, so the map only ever says something like "somewhere near Lisbon". There is one way to interact with a secret, and that is to say "SAME".
The landing site for the SecretMap app. A page that says what the app was built for and how it is used.
