About Me
 Hi! My name is Can and this is my home page on the World Wide Web. I am a backend-focused Full Stack Developer at Neon Apps in Istanbul, Turkey. I build APIs and full-stack applications, mostly with Node.js, TypeScript and NestJS. At Neon Apps, I build backends for mobile apps, including AI features, payments and real-time systems on GCP, Azure and AWS. I am open to full-time backend engineering opportunities.
