// Computer Engineer

## about

Computer Engineering graduate from Suleyman Demirel University (MUDEK / Washington Accord accredited), with an Erasmus exchange year at Transilvania University of Brasov, Romania.

I build full-stack systems with a backend focus — RESTful APIs, containerised deployments, and data-driven tooling using Java, Spring Boot, and PostgreSQL. Two internship stints at Volthread Technology sharpened my skills in Agile and Scrum delivery and production-grade web development with React.

I gravitate toward tooling that surfaces system health: monitoring dashboards, log parsers, and analysis pipelines that give engineers clear signal. I'm comfortable in a Linux shell and reach for Docker Compose to make entire stacks reproducible with a single command.

Currently exploring distributed systems patterns and cloud-native architectures.
