Full-stack developer building end-to-end web apps and AI/LLM systems.

I build production B2B e-commerce platforms with Next.js, Node.js and PostgreSQL — including bank/payment and ERP integrations — and I design AI/RAG systems. Computer Engineering graduate of Konya Technical University and co-founder of Arkcode.

About

I ship end-to-end applications with Next.js, React, Node.js and PostgreSQL. I’ve built bank and payment integrations and ERP synchronization for B2B e-commerce; at the startup I co-founded, I delivered digital menus, AI-based image generation and admin panels for local businesses.

I care about clean architecture (repository/service layering, typed boundaries with Zod), pragmatic AI/RAG systems, and fast, accessible interfaces.
