Experience

  1. TÜBİTAK SAGE

    Intern - Embedded Systems, Guidance Kits Laboratory July 2025 — August 2025
    • Engineered a “Power Supply Automation System” using Python, incorporating unit tests and adhering to SOLID principles for maintainability to accelerate defense testing. Implemented an asynchronous architecture for real-time visualization over RS232/LAN, completely eliminating UI latency/freezing.
    • Critical Problem Solving: Overcame a 3.3V TTL to RS232 signal incompatibility (UART Framing Error) without hardware modifications. Developed a software-based Data Reconstruction and ARQ (Automatic Repeat reQuest) algorithm that stitched together valid payloads from consecutive polling cycles to reliably recover the consistently corrupted initial bits.
    • Developed a wireless remote control module using ESP8266 NodeMCU, embedding a web server to manage test setups remotely, effectively removing physical cabling dependencies.
  2. DasDas

    Enterprise CMS & Optimization Project April 2025 — October 2025
    • Engineered a high-performance, full-stack CMS within a Next.js environment, optimizing data fetching and minimizing redundant queries through strict timeout management and Firestore caching strategies.
    • Impact: Slashed database read operations, effectively reducing data retrieval costs by 60% and accelerating page load times by 3x compared to the legacy system.
    • Designed a flexible content model and implemented CI/CD via GitHub and Vercel.
  3. Penkrowd

    Founder & Backend Lead July 2024 — Present
    • Startup & Achievements: Transformed the project into a startup after winning 1st Place at Google Academy. Led the backend development lifecycle utilizing Agile/Scrum methodologies. Selected to showcase at Dubai Step Conference, Take Off, Teknofest, and Tech Istanbul.
    • Architected a scalable backend on Firebase using Cloud Functions to handle high-concurrency workloads.
    • Secured APIs and user data via JWT and OAuth2, implementing rate limiting and input validation to strictly follow secure API development and security-first principles.
    • Optimized Firebase NoSQL queries via compound indexes and efficient data modeling to reduce read/write costs by 25%, demonstrating early FinOps adoption.

Projects

  1. Local LLM Config Manager

    Designed a hybrid LLM + deterministic Python architecture for natural language Kubernetes configuration management. Replaced full-JSON generation with schema-constrained extraction and recursive patching, eliminating hallucinations and achieving a 23x performance improvement (280s → 12s) with 100% test reliability. Built a dynamic pattern-matching cache (OCP-compliant), destructive-change guards, and benchmarked 10 local 3B models to select the optimal runtime.

  2. Vehicle Gallery Automation (Spring Boot Microservices)

    Developed a decoupled backend using Java Spring Boot and Spring Security, exposing RESTful APIs. Implemented JWT Authentication and integrated Redis for caching frequently accessed data, achieving a 20% reduction in average response time.
