Backend Software Developer

Final-year Computer Engineering student at Yeditepe University specializing in backend software development. Hands-on experience building RESTful APIs in Java and Go using layered service architecture, with practical knowledge of concurrency, testing, and containerized deployment. I build reliable, well-structured backend systems and I'm looking for a role where I can ship real-world software and keep growing as an engineer.
