Senior🎓
Top SchoolBurak Çalık is a seasoned Co-Founder and CTO with 18+ years of hands-on experience building pixel-perfect full-stack applications and leading multiple startups from Istanbul. He blends deep backend expertise in PHP/Laravel, Node.js and databases (MySQL, Redis, Elasticsearch) with modern front-end skills in React, Vue and React Native to deliver high-performance, user-focused products. As a serial founder and group CTO across several companies since 2013, he repeatedly moves comfortably between coding, infrastructure and product strategy. He began programming at age 12, which explains his rare combination of long technical depth and practical startup execution. Known for shipping production-grade systems on Debian/Nginx and managing CI/CD with GitLab, he also brings UX sensitivity to engineering decisions. His portfolio reflects both broad domain experience and a bias for building resilient, scalable platforms rather than one-off prototypes.
