Backend Developer

Building the reliable systems behind the business.

Fourteen years in HR taught me how organizations and people really work. Now I build the backends behind them — PHP, Symfony & Laravel — with a product mind shaped by the business side.

About

From HR to backend development

After 14 years in the HR department of a Turkish international corporation, I made a deliberate move into engineering. The result is a rare combination: I understand the business and the people a system serves — and I can build it.

2012 — 2024

Human Resources

A Turkish international corporation. Hiring, process and communication across teams and cultures — I learned how organizations actually operate, and exactly where software helps or gets in the way.

2025 — 2026

Backend Development

A self-directed transition into engineering. PHP, Symfony, Laravel and modern tooling. I write maintainable backends, design clean data flows, and automate the tedious work.

Business understanding + technical skill — I translate real organizational needs into software that people actually want to use.
