Available for new opportunities

Engineering resilient Java systems with care for the people using them.

I'm Deniz, a software engineer with hands-on experience shipping production backends and full-stack apps in enterprise environments. I focus on Java (Spring Boot, Quarkus), clean RESTful APIs, system integrations, and the CI/CD that ships them safely.

01 / About

A pragmatic engineer with a builder's mindset.

I gravitate toward the hard middle of software: the integrations, the data flows, and the places where requirements are fuzzy and reliability matters. I like turning vague enterprise needs into systems that are simple to operate, easy to extend, and pleasant to work in.

Beyond shipping features, I care about the developer experience around them: clean module boundaries, meaningful tests, fast feedback loops in CI/CD, and code that the next engineer can actually read. Critical mindset, fast learning curve, and a strong bias for clarity over cleverness.
