Istanbul, Turkey

I'm a Unity Game Developer & Software Engineer with a passion for building engaging mobile games and digital products. Over the past 7+ years, I've worn many hats, from indie developer and co-founder to full-stack engineer.

I've published multiple titles on Google Play & App Store in partnership with Lion Studios (AppLovin), one of the world's leading hyper-casual game publishers. My expertise spans the entire game development lifecycle: prototyping, architecture design, performance optimization, ad integration, and live operations.

Before game development, I built web applications and mobile apps as a freelance developer, which gave me a strong foundation in full-stack development and client-facing work.
