Second Teknasyon project, focused on an eSIM purchase experience. The role strengthened my product-side thinking as much as my frontend implementation: working closer with product teams, following product signals, and turning observations into possible actions.

• I worked mainly with Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS.
• I helped move the frontend toward healthier Next.js patterns after an initial implementation that did not follow recommended framework practices.
• I reviewed and refactored server-client flow, frontend state ownership, and logic boundaries.
• I handled cross-team communication where backend-managed frontend logic needed to be moved, clarified, or adjusted.
• I researched and contributed to SEO, PageSpeed, image optimization, loading behavior, and product-facing improvements.
• I developed a stronger product mindset beyond only writing UI code.

High-traffic React product experience in a frontend monorepo during a migration from legacy .NET surfaces to a React SPA. I followed existing product patterns while being careful about performance in a production environment.

• I worked with plain React without a meta framework.
• I contributed to converting legacy product areas into React SPA screens.
• I spent focused time on React performance topics because of the product's traffic scale.
• I practiced virtual list usage, re-render debugging, profiler usage, key handling, props behavior, and component update analysis.
• I worked specifically on performance-related improvements around the Kupondas tab.
• I followed established monorepo patterns and production conventions.

Startup experience in a data-focused product, chosen deliberately to experience a faster, higher-pressure environment. I did technical work as well as more direct product decision-making under uncertainty.

• I worked with Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS.
• I built data-heavy product surfaces connected to multiple external sources.
• I worked on interfaces for understanding, tracking, and presenting user data.
• I experienced startup dynamics, pressure, fast product decisions, and the cost of failed assumptions.
• I contributed briefly to backend development as well as frontend work.
• I left the project together with the team due to the economic conditions affecting the startup.

First Teknasyon project, initially shaped as a dashboard and later pivoted into an advertising management center. I worked on integrations, charts, and a framework migration inside an evolving product direction.

• I worked with Vue 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and SCSS.
• I joined the team during the Vue 2 to Vue 3 transition.
• I worked on integrations with advertising platforms and their management panels.
• I improved documentation-reading habits while integrating third-party platform behavior.
• I spent significant time with chart libraries and dashboard-style data presentation.
• I experienced a product pivot from dashboard concept to advertising management center.

Enterprise product built around Huawei's Petal Maps map engine, allowing enterprise customers to create map-based experiences for their own users. In this early-career role I worked on complex UI behavior, state management, and perceived performance challenges.

• I worked with Vue 2 and Less.
• I built dashboard-like UI flows around map customization and map-engine communication.
• I connected selected HTML/interface elements with map-engine behavior.
• I solved state-management problems around complex map-related interactions.
• I worked through heavy performance and response-time challenges from the map engine.
• I used creative UX techniques to reduce the perceived waiting time during loading or frozen response states.

Early career experience at an Izmir-based company, starting as an intern and continuing as a frontend developer. I worked on a product that visualized ECG data from a healthcare organization and presented it to healthcare professionals and related teams.

• I worked with Angular 2+, TypeScript, and plain CSS.
• I built dashboard-style healthcare data visualization surfaces.
• I worked on presenting ECG-related data in a usable format for professional users.
• I gained first professional experience with TypeScript and structured frontend development.
• I started as an intern and continued contributing after the internship period.
