Who I Am

I'm a 4th-year Computer Engineering student at Çukurova University and a passionate backend developer with a focus on building systems that scale.

My goal is to create reliable, high-performance backend architectures for the finance and banking sectors — where accuracy and uptime are non-negotiable. I believe in writing clean code, following SOLID principles, and continuously pushing my technical limits.

Currently deepening my expertise in advanced backend development and exploring how Large Language Models (LLMs) can be integrated into real-world backend architectures.
