Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMert Kahyaoglu is a senior software engineer based in London with 12 years of experience building high-performance web applications and architecting scalable, AI-driven systems. He has a strong front-end pedigree—migrating legacy stacks to React/TypeScript and shipping complex UIs like Zeplin’s Canvas-based Flows and a Jekyll Admin front-end during a Google Summer of Code project. Recently he’s focused on integrating LLMs and document-AI into production workflows for logistics and customs platforms, while also leading reusable design system efforts. At Miro he improved authentication UX and performance by migrating pages to Next.js and implementing passwordless and “remember me” flows, demonstrating a blend of product sensibility and platform thinking. Known for mentoring teams and shipping pragmatic, experiment-friendly solutions, he combines deep frontend craft with practical backend and integration experience (CargoWise, GraphQL, React Native). An early open-source contributor to editor tooling, he brings a curiosity for developer experience that often surfaces in tooling and performance improvements.
