Backend engineer, trying to become a data engineer.
I work mostly on backend systems, databases, storage, and the parts of software where consistency stops being optional.
- Software engineer intern at İKAN-HR, rewriting a backend around Django, PostgreSQL, and SeaweedFS. I also help with frontend work when needed.
- Building the backend for Violaid with a friend.
- Studying Computer Science at Istanbul University.
- President of Istanbul University's Data Club Community.
Local-first personal document store written in Go. Original bytes live in a content-addressed filesystem blob store; metadata and FTS5 search live in SQLite. Includes import/export, tagging, OCR jobs, integrity checks, and backup/restore flows.
Institutional work and event coordination system developed for Istanbul University's Corporate Communication Coordination Office. FastAPI, PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy, Alembic, React Native/Expo, audit logs, notification outbox, and scheduler-backed reminders. It replaced a workflow that otherwise lived in chat.
First-place NeuroBridge Hackathon project. An ML-based drug-screening pipeline built from SMILES inputs with FastAPI prediction services for BBB permeability, logBB exposure, and toxicity risk.
A student information system I built to learn Go and databases: PostgreSQL constraints, transactions, advisory locks, triggers, audit logs, materialized views, and REST APIs. It is a learning project, not production guidance; assume there are mistakes.
- Former part-time software engineer at Istanbul University.
- Led seven technical events through the Data Club Community with speakers and partners including Red Hat, EPAM, PyData, and the Turkish AI Community.
I occasionally write at FuneralCS. The most technical piece so far is LSM Trees vs. B-Trees.
