About
I'm a software engineer who ships production systems end to end — from a real-time auction engine serving thousands of concurrent users to payment integrations across five providers. My current focus is applied AI: LLM-based content moderation, AI image & video generation workflows and multi-agent developer tooling. I work across TypeScript/Node.js, PHP/Laravel and Python with PostgreSQL, Redis and Docker — and I optimize for measurable outcomes, like cutting response times by ~40% on a high-traffic platform.
In addition to my technical skills, I am passionate about art, dance, sports, music, photography, and motorcycles, all of which fuel my creativity and enhance my problem-solving abilities.
Skills

Claude Code

Cursor
AntigravityEvery feature runs through a structured, AI-augmented multi-agent workflow:
- —A matrix of specialized agents — planning, implementation, code review, security, and verification — coordinated in an automated QA loop.
- —Token-optimization tooling (RTK proxy) in the loop cuts AI-operation cost by 60–90%.
- —A self-improving loop: agent errors are captured, distilled into reusable rules, and tracked on a live dashboard — the system learns from its own mistakes.

Turkticaret.NetFull Time
Turkticaret.Net is a leading domain and hosting provider in Turkey, serving high-traffic digital services — domain registration, hosting, and SSL/security certificates.
- Cut key query and page response times by ~40% by removing N+1 queries and adding Redis caching on hot paths.
- Built and secured payment gateway integrations for recurring hosting and domain billing.
- Automated recurring operations with cron jobs and queue workers, removing hours of manual work each week.
- Integrated an LLM-based assistant to automatically review and moderate user feedback content.
- Applied SOLID principles to keep a large PHP codebase maintainable under growing load.
Turkticaret.NetWorkplace Training
I improved myself further with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and JQuery. I also handled the backend with PHP, SQL. Additionally I learned fundamentals of Nodejs and frameworks like Laravel and Django. I got familiar with content management systems and MVC structure.
Turkticaret.NetInternship
I learned the technologies that make websites work, like HTML, CSS, JavaScript. I learned and deployed a website using JQuery and PHP with a MySQL database.

Projects
Arabamsende.com
ArabamSende.com is a vehicle auction and valuation platform. I worked across the full lifecycle, from architecture to production.
- Architected a real-time auction engine over WebSockets (Laravel Echo) for live bidding with thousands of concurrent users.
- Ran the app on Laravel Octane + FrankenPHP (Caddy) for persistent, high-throughput request handling.
- Integrated the payment system and tuned PostgreSQL and Redis for auction-time load.
vibecosystem (fork)
My daily-driver fork of vibecosystem — an open-source AI software team for Claude Code (138 agents, 296 skills, 74 hooks) — extended substantially on top of upstream.
- Canavar error-learning system: agent transcripts are scanned for tool errors, unverified claims and retry storms; mistakes feed a shared ledger so one agent's failure trains the whole team.
- Shared hook library with tests and an extended agent-monitoring dashboard (WebSocket auto-reconnect, stuck-agent detection).
- Worktree handoff protocol preventing isolated agents from stranding uncommitted changes.
webOS
A web desktop environment inspired by PostHog-OS — draggable, resizable windows, a dock, a spotlight launcher and pluggable apps.
- Implemented pointer-based drag & resize from scratch — zero third-party drag/resize libraries.
- Modeled window state (z-order, focus, snapping) in zustand with a clean, testable core.
Boostarea.net
Boostarea.net is a service platform for online games. I worked full-stack on the site, across frontend and backend.
- Built customer-facing pages with jQuery / Bootstrap and server-side features on a PHP / Zend stack.
- Integrated the payment gateway and added real-time updates via WebSockets, backed by MySQL.
