M-Shaped Computer Engineer

Full Stack Agile Developer

IT Business Analyst (Systems Engineer)

Agile Tester

The opportunity to solve a common problem that many people experience — using just a computer in my room — shaped both my education and career.

I hold a strong academic background in computer science, having completed my high school, associate, and bachelor’s degrees with high honors.

Since 2011, I’ve built versatile experience across the Software - Systems Development Lifecycle (SDLC) — taking on roles such as Software Engineer, Systems Engineer (Business Analyst), and Test Engineer. I have contributed to a wide range of projects, from small-scale applications to large, highly available, and auto-scalable enterprise solutions.

After more than five years of experience at the Ministry of National Education, in the defense industry (HAVELSAN and MilSOFT), and in the private sector, I returned to freelance work in May 2023. I simultaneously held roles as a Full Stack Agile Developer, Business Analyst (Systems Engineer), Agile Tester, and Blogger.

As of October 2025, I concluded my freelance work. I am now pursuing new opportunities aligned with my strategic and personal career goals.

Throughout my career, I have continuously developed not only my technical skills but also my capabilities in project management, team leadership, and software architecture. I have taken on responsibilities in leading Agile teams, making critical technical decisions, and designing long-term, sustainable software solutions—strengthening my strategic competencies in the process. As a professional who can manage software development processes at both operational and architectural levels, I prioritize aligning team coordination with a strong technical vision.

Why Work With Me?

Multidisciplinary Technical Expertise

I’m an excellent communicator and a reliable team player, capable of fulfilling responsibilities across three different roles — Business Analyst & Systems Engineer, Agile Test Engineer, and Full Stack Developer — within cross-functional Agile teams. This versatility enables me to collaborate effectively with teammates from various disciplines, bridge gaps between roles, and offer cost-effective, value-driven solutions. I quickly adapt to evolving requirements and always aim to align technical delivery with business goals and user expectations, ensuring that every sprint contributes measurable value.

End-to-End Project Ownership

I have contributed to every major stage of the Software Development Life Cycle — from system analysis and architecture design to development, testing, and delivery. My experience ranges from developing mission-critical C++ applications in the defense industry to building modern web solutions using technologies like Java Spring Boot, Maven, Gradle, React.js, PostgreSQL, Docker, Jenkins, SonarQube, and CI/CD pipelines. This broad technical spectrum enables me to adapt quickly, bridge traditional and modern stacks, and deliver secure, maintainable, and scalable software tailored to industry needs.

Proven Success in Critical Domains

Beyond my contributions to mission-critical defense projects at HAVELSAN and MILSOFT, I’ve also worked on software solutions used by 11 different banks, directly supporting the digital transformation of financial institutions. These projects demanded the highest levels of security, stability, and compliance — and I delivered accordingly.

Collaborative & Agile Mindset

I’m an excellent communicator and team player, comfortable working in cross-functional Agile teams. I adapt quickly to changing requirements and focus on delivering value with every sprint. I understand business needs and user expectations, which allows me to build effective, user-centric systems.
