Top SchoolYusuf Yilmaz is a Senior Software Engineer with 12+ years of hands-on experience building high-performance web applications and distributed systems across telecom, gaming, and ad-tech. He blends strong frontend expertise in React, Next.js, Redux and TailwindCSS with backend skills in Node.js, .NET and TypeScript, and deep familiarity with SQL databases and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP). At companies like Turkcell, Scopely, Marfeel and Toptal he has led migrations to modern stacks, converted monoliths to micro-frontends, and built automation tools for Google Ads and ETL pipelines feeding BigQuery. He mentors teams, drives architectural decisions, and consistently delivers production-grade CI/CD, containerization and observability solutions. Now based in the Greater Barcelona area and currently at dLocal, he pairs academic depth (engineering studies and PhD work) with a pragmatic record of shipping customer-facing systems that handle high volume traffic. A practical polyglot, Yusuf often bridges frontend, backend and DevOps gaps—turning legacy tools into scalable, testable products.
