Available for Remote Work
8+ years crafting scalable APIs, logistics systems,
and backend infrastructure with PHP & Laravel.
I'm a backend-focused software engineer who turns complex business requirements into clean, scalable systems. For 8+ years, I've been building the kind of infrastructure that enterprise logistics platforms depend on.
My work spans the full backend lifecycle — from database schema design and query optimization to RESTful API architecture, third-party integrations, and deployment pipelines. I've built custom pathfinding algorithms, real-time container tracking systems, and complete payment gateway integrations in production environments serving enterprise clients.
I work with an AI-first engineering mindset — using Claude, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot not as shortcuts, but as force multipliers that let me solve harder problems faster and with higher code quality.
Education: BSc in Computer Engineering, Dokuz Eylül University (2017). Languages: Turkish (native), English (B2).

Selected personal projects with demos or source code where publicly available.
A Laravel family-tree explorer with character relationships, house profiles, REST APIs, caching, rate limiting, and automated tests.
An educational PHP payment example covering Stripe Elements, PaymentIntents, 3D Secure, webhooks, and CSRF protection.
A local-first work hours tracker with daily and monthly summaries, JSON backup, CSV export, and offline PWA support.
A responsive static business website with product browsing, contact actions, and search and social metadata.
Selected production work from enterprise and logistics products. Most client code is private; architecture details and sanitized case studies are available during interviews.
Engineered a custom pathfinding algorithm on a binary world map to calculate alternative maritime shipping routes. Built from scratch to handle real-world ocean geography with obstacle avoidance and route optimization.
Built interactive map modules for live visualization of container movements across global shipping routes. Integrated TypeScript and Vite.js with backend APIs to deliver sub-second updates for enterprise clients.
Implemented large-scale web scraping pipelines to collect, parse, and normalize external shipping data from multiple carriers into a unified internal schema — powering dashboards and client-facing APIs.
Delivered a complete Stripe integration for the logistics SaaS platform — secure checkout flows, webhook handling for async events, idempotent payment processing, and full activity logging for compliance.
Built backend systems for RFID and barcode-based automation in warehouse logistics environments, enabling real-time inventory tracking and automated check-in/out workflows with hardware-software integration.
I integrate AI tools into every phase of development — from architecture discussions to code review. Claude, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot aren't shortcuts; they're how I stay in the problem space, not the syntax space.
I'm open to senior backend roles, remote opportunities, and interesting technical challenges. If you think we'd work well together — reach out.
