ENGINCAN KIZILYAR
Senior Mobile Application Developer
Istanbul
Summary
As a mobile application development enthusiast, I'm always excited to learn new skills and techniques-especially when it comes to software development and mobile app concepts. After graduating from the Computer Engineering Department at Pamukkale University, I set my sights on deepening my knowledge in core areas of mobile development. Along the way, I gained a lot of valuable experience, both through hands-on projects and continuous learning. At one point, I also had the opportunity to work as a technical interview recruiter, which gave me a whole new perspective on the industry. I truly believe there's no limit to learning. That's why I'm always striving to push myself closer to that limitless edge-growing as much as I can, for as long as I can.
