About

Frontend & Full-Stack Product Engineer who architects Next.js SaaS platforms from scratch, integrates LLM pipelines into products and owns the whole product lifecycle (design, build, DevOps, team). 2+ years combining the React/Next.js ecosystem with Java Spring Boot backends and high-throughput databases. Runs DevOps end to end — VPS, Docker networks, CI/CD — and has led a cross-functional team of four.

Hi, I'm Hasan. I'm a frontend-focused full-stack product engineer; products start in the browser, often continue in the pocket, and I treat both with the same seriousness.

Over the last two years I led the team that built the FLY AI and Export AI platforms from scratch at AI PORT: Next.js frontends, Java Spring Boot backends, MongoDB, LLM pipelines and the Dev/QA/Prod Docker infrastructure. I ran sprint planning for a team of four for fourteen months; code review, security layers (JWT, 2FA) and technical debt were on my desk.

Before that I founded Vak'a with a friend: a React Native journaling app that matches people by mood, shipped to the Apple and Google stores. Side projects and freelance work get the same discipline: one source of truth, measurable outcomes, written decisions.

How I work

The principles above are not decoration; every case file's decision log carries their trace. AI-assisted development (Cursor, Claude) is a daily tool, but I read the model's code the way I read my own.

Outside work

I studied physics at İzmir Institute of Technology; as mechanical team captain of the AVCI ROKET team at Teknofest we placed 6th and 16th among more than 400 teams in the High Altitude Rocket Competition — twice on the podium list. That is where I learned what building a whole system, outside software, feels like.

TODO: A short personal touch (hobbies, interests).

§ How I work

  1. 01

    Understand the product first, then pick the technology; never the other way round.

  2. 02

    Web and mobile are the same problem on different screens. I share the logic and leave the UI to the platform.

  3. 03

    I don't optimise what I haven't measured.

  4. 04

    I write decisions down. Six months later, the answer to 'why' lives in the repo.

  5. 05

    I don't hand deployment to someone else; the product in production is my job too.
