software
that ships.

Software engineer who ships end-to-end. Three solo apps in production — an AI study companion, a gut-health tracker, a Solana watcher — plus a real-time RegTech system at Bull Teknoloji by day. I write Rust at 3am, design my own screens, and answer my own emails.

01 / The story

A software engineer who designs her own work.

I'm a software engineer who builds end-to-end. Three solo apps in production — an AI study companion, a gut-health tracker that actually learns your triggers, and a Rust binary that watches Solana drop tokens at 3am. By day I lead a real-time risk system at Bull Teknoloji, where I rebuilt the FLARE data path from Node to Go after the event loop got buried by high-frequency feeds.

There's no separate designer behind any project on this site. The portfolio you're reading is part of the portfolio.

Lately that means AI-powered products: an educational platform that turns lectures into flashcards and quizzes, a mobile companion that learns gut-health triggers, a Rust service that tracks new Solana tokens in real time.

I work across the full stack — frontend, backend, real-time data, mobile, and the bits in between. When the type and the layout matter, I do those too.

04 / The path

From day one to now.

↳ four years · four milestones · still compounding

01 / Year 01
2022

Started Software Engineering

Enrolled as a Software Engineering major. Day one I figured the syllabus alone wouldn't get me to where I wanted — so I started building on the side from day two.

University · Year 1
02 / Year 02
→ 2023

Took the extra mile, self-taught the rest

Read what the curriculum didn't cover — TypeScript, Next.js, real backends, deployments, design. Built small apps end-to-end every semester to make the lessons stick.

First internship — OKTAN Sağlık ARGE

Three months as an AI Engineer Intern in a health R&D company. First time deploying models against real-world data, working alongside senior engineers, learning what production actually means.

Software Engineer at Bull Teknoloji

Shipping NanoShield (real-time RegTech around an FPGA core, I lead it) and FLARE (low-latency trading platform — I rebuilt the data path from Next.js to Go after the Node event loop got buried).
