Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMücahit Gürbüz is a Senior Frontend Engineer based in Berlin with 9 years of experience building user-focused web applications, currently shaping learning experiences at Babbel. He blends a strong civil engineering research background (PhD studies) with deep expertise in the JavaScript ecosystem to turn complex domain problems into clear, delightful interfaces. Past roles span large-scale SaaS WMS frontends, interactive natural-hazard mapping tools delivered to European research institutes, and a startup he co-founded—demonstrating both product and research-driven engineering. His hands-on work includes UX-focused map enhancements on open-source projects (e.g., adding navigation and heatmap tweaks to a disaster-relief frontend). Comfortable across TypeScript, React and testing tooling, he emphasizes accessibility, maintainable design systems, and pragmatic experimentation. That cross-disciplinary lens—combining academic rigor, field-focused mapping work, and product-facing frontend craft—helps him deliver practical, user-centered solutions.
