Work History

Head of Software

Fizix

06.2023 - 10.2025

I served as the "Head of Software." In this role, I was responsible for managing the development team, planning sprints, and creating architectural structures aligned with the company's future goals. My expertise in web technologies, particularly in JavaScript, was a key asset in leading the team and ensuring the high quality of both web-based and mobile-based applications. I oversaw the entire development lifecycle, including task assignment, evaluating customer requests, and participating in key meetings with customers. In addition, I also led initiatives related to artificial intelligence integrations. I developed layers and interfaces within the application that utilized LLMs to analyze data presented on dashboards by enabling conversational interactions with the data and its extended versions. This architecture was designed to work seamlessly with both online and offline AI models, making it easily deployable in on-premise systems. While leading the team, I also took on critical secondary roles such as designing and developing highly efficient REST APIs and Razor web interfaces using .NET Core and C#, conducting extensive UI/UX studies, and performing database design and optimization. To make our development processes faster and more robust, I personally developed a wide range of sophisticated frameworks and APIs for both the front-end and back-end, ensuring the use of single-source code across all applications. This role truly allowed me to function as both a lead architect and a hands-on developer, leveraging my deep technical skills to drive innovation.
Collaborated with stakeholders to gather requirements and translate them into technical specifications.
Provided expert guidance on software architecture decisions, ensuring alignment with business objectives and long-term technical strategy.
Established best practices for coding standards, improving consistency across the entire development team''s output.

Architect

Arvento

01.2012 - 01.2023

I started working at Arvento as the head of the software development team. In this role, I am responsible for orchestrating the development of web, desktop, and mobile applications for the company. Additionally, I personally created the architecture of the entire system and developed APIs to be used in application development. I oversee a team of 30 engineers.
During this period, I also implemented REST APIs and web-based frontend APIs for the company. All internally developed applications utilize these REST APIs, which are also employed by external parties to interact with our systems.
In 2018, I made the decision to transition to the role of an architect. I left the team and began working independently. In this position, my primary focus is on exploring new technologies and developing new servers for our next-generation vehicle tracking devices. I am involved in handling large datasets, conducting big data analysis, implementing machine learning techniques, and identifying new possibilities for our company.
To accomplish these goals, I have developed new frameworks, APIs, and servers. The servers I have created can efficiently serve over 1 million devices in the field, utilizing minimal resources. Some of these servers are responsible for real-time data tracking and anomaly detection. By implementing anomaly detection, we are able to identify and address any issues before they impact our customers.
Attended team meetings to resolve technical and project issues and review project schedules.
Maintained strong communication with clients throughout the design process to ensure alignment between their vision and the final product.
