Metin Siper is a solo founder and full-stack software engineer with 11 years’ experience building secure, serverless cloud platforms and interactive data/graph visualizations. He designed and shipped Visucodize, a code-driven algorithm animation platform that combines Babel AST transforms, a sandboxed visualization runtime, and a D3/SVG frontend to let users visualize data structures with single-line adjustments while preserving original semantics. His background includes research-grade work on Cytoscape.js—contributing to its cose2 layout algorithm—and multiple Cytoscape.js extensions used broadly in biological pathway tools. Comfortable across frontend, backend, and cloud edge stacks (AWS, Cloudflare), he emphasizes security- and cost-aware architecture and has authored 70+ editorial algorithm visualizations. Metin blends academic rigor from Bilkent University with product-focused engineering, solving ambiguous technical problems end-to-end.

Contributions summary:Metin primarily contributed to the `cose2` layout algorithm within the cytoscape.js library. Their work involved implementing and correcting features related to the layout, including adjustments to animation, tiling behavior, and node positioning. The user also made changes related to how the library reads nodes and edges from the options. The commits demonstrate a focus on improving the functionality and usability of the graph layout algorithm.
