I’m a Senior Full-Stack Developer based in Turkey, currently building secure, scalable web applications at Rewire Security. By day I architect and ship features across the front- and back-end; by night I’m a solopreneur exploring automation, AI-driven workflows, and new ways to build better developer tools.
My Story
- Early days. I started coding as a hobby in college, tinkering with small PHP scripts and eventually falling in love with JavaScript and modern web frameworks.
- Professional growth. Over the years I’ve worked with large-scale Angular apps, migrated legacy codebases to Next.js, and solidified my DevOps chops on VPS hosts (Hetzner, Cloudflare DNS, Docker, Traefik).
- Solopreneur journey. Alongside my day job, I’ve launched multiple side projects—think AI-powered content schedulers, RAG-based chatbots, and GitHub-insight dashboards—all grounded in pragmatic market validation and rapid prototyping.
- Web & APIs: Angular, React/Next.js, NestJS, Go
- Databases & Infra: PostgreSQL, Supabase, Docker, Hetzner, Cloudflare, Dokploy
- Automation & AI: n8n, Make.com, LangChain, vector-store RAG bots
- CI/CD & Testing: GitHub Actions, Playwright UAT automation, Selenium

Beyond Code
- Writer. I believe writing is the best way to clear mental clutter—so I keep a slow-morning routine and publish technical deep-dives on shakg.dev.
- Healthy habits. In 2025 I quit smoking and started a weight-loss journey—sharing lessons learned along the way.
- Community. I mentor junior developers, contribute to open-source, and speak at local meetups whenever I can.
