Senior🎓
Top SchoolUğur Erkan is a Co-Founder and senior software engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience designing and delivering scalable backend systems, primarily using PHP, for web, mobile and cloud environments. He has led engineering teams and shipped production-grade architectures across startups and scaleups—from founding rebase to senior roles at companies like Flick, NADUVI and fonq.nl—bringing a practical focus on performance, maintainability and long-term reliability.

Based in Istanbul, he combines a formal background in Management Information Systems and Economics with entrepreneurial grit, often tackling both product and infrastructure challenges himself. A pragmatic problem-solver, he favors measurable improvements (latency, cost, testability) over flashy tech, which has helped him repeatedly move projects from prototype to production.
