I outsourced coding to AI. Results improved.

Backend and infrastructure developer. Payments and high-traffic platforms.

About

Backend and infrastructure developer. Started with Flash in middle school, picked up PHP at an e-commerce internship in 2012 that turned into a job, and have been building backends since. What keeps me interested: systems that have to keep running correctly while I sleep. Samsun. Outside work, mostly neuroscience reading and hard sci-fi books and shows.

  • At Kreosus, building out international payouts so creators anywhere can get supported in their own currency.
  • At Evrim Ağacı, moving the Agora science marketplace onto Shopify so the merch operation can scale on its own instead of through me.
  • Reading Brain Facts and finishing Altered Carbon. Both excellent.
