About Me
Get to know the person behind the code
Hello, I'm Berkay
I'm a Software Engineer and Frontend Developer at Twin Science with 3+ years of experience building educational and purpose-driven digital products. I specialize in Angular and React/Next.js, and I focus on turning complex ideas into clear, high-impact user experiences.
At Twin Science, I have led frontend architecture decisions, migrated a legacy Angular 8 codebase to a modern React structure, and improved real-world performance significantly. I also work on AI-powered content tooling and prompt-driven workflows with Node.js to support faster and more reliable product delivery.
Before web product engineering, I worked as a game developer and shipped multiple mobile games as a solo developer. Outside of work, I contribute to social impact through YGA by leading science and AI workshops for children in earthquake-affected regions, and I stay hands-on with modern frontend, backend, and AI tooling.

Values & Principles
Principles I actively defend in every product I build
User-Centered Design
I do not design for screens; I design for people. Every interaction should feel clear, purposeful, and easy to trust.
Performance First
Speed is not a bonus feature. It is part of product quality, and I treat performance as a core requirement from day one.
Continuous Learning
I constantly test new tools and patterns, then keep only what creates measurable value in real-world delivery.
Collaborative Spirit
Strong products are built through clear communication, sharp feedback loops, and shared ownership across the team.
