About

Twenty-five years in IT — the first fifteen running enterprise systems and networks, the last ten shipping software. Today I design, build, and operate SaaS products at Socialbug Apps LLC (Wyoming, USA). My background in enterprise operations means the products I ship come with the boring things done right: security defaults that fail closed, idempotent payment flows, disaster recovery that actually exists.

Laravel has been at the core of that work for years — scalable, maintainable applications built on SOLID, DRY, and clean-code fundamentals, with Laravel's security standards treated as table stakes. These days the stack also covers Vue, Nuxt, NestJS, Flutter and Swift.

Based in Thailand and Bali. Working globally.

Beyond the Code

I started working in technology shortly after finishing high school in Istanbul in 2000. Over the next twenty-five years I learned on the job: running systems, networks and IT operations at companies such as CGV Mars Cinema Group and Karnaval Media Group, then moving into software and eventually founding my own company. Experience taught me how to solve problems; curiosity keeps pushing me to understand them more deeply. In 2026 I enrolled in the University of London's BSc Computer Science programme, with academic direction from Goldsmiths, to build the mathematical and theoretical foundations behind that practical knowledge. For me, returning to university isn't about starting over or changing careers. It's about connecting decades of experience with deeper academic understanding, challenging what I think I know, and continuing to grow as an engineer.
