Berkay Arda Yıldız
Software engineer and frontend developer at Twin Science, three years in, specialising in Angular and React/Next.js. Before the web, six published mobile games as sole developer.
I build interfaces that have to survive real users, real deadlines and a roadmap that never stops moving.
Performance is the baseline
Speed is not a bonus feature. It is product quality, and it is a requirement from the first commit.
People, not screens
I design experiences, not surfaces. Every interaction should read as clear, purposeful and easy to trust.
The roadmap does not stop
I build large rewrites incrementally, so the team never has to stop releasing to accommodate them.
Technology serves something
I run science and AI workshops with YGA for children in the regions hit by the 2023 earthquakes.
Games first, then production frontend.
