He combines hands-on frontend craftsmanship (from Vanilla JS and React/Preact to React Native) with strategic leadership—having hired and mentored large engineering teams and led frontend/UX at scale. His work at iyzico produced a SaaS payment form used by millions and drove company-wide API modernization from REST to GraphQL, reflecting a pragmatic balance of product impact and technical modernization. At Scotty and Firefly he expanded product verticals and improved processes while guiding cross-functional teams to deliver mobile and web offerings. Now at Finch Network, he continues to steer frontend architecture and team performance as a principal engineer based between Texas and Turkey.
