Hey, I'm Yigitalp
I'm a freelance software engineer & consultant in Berlin. I design, build, and maintain data-intensive web applications with a focus on reliable backends, clean APIs, and pragmatic delivery.
- 15+ years of experience across Java/Spring, .NET, Python, TypeScript/Node, and Nuxt/Vue
- Backend-first, DevOps literate, comfortable with Postgres, Elasticsearch, Docker/Kubernetes, Cloud
- Since 2024: applied ML/LLM integrations for real products
I describe myself as pragmatic, modest, and product-minded. I’ve spent most of my career in startup environments shipping and maintaining real systems under real constraints. I care about quick prototyping, strong ownership, and maintainability.
What I do
- Backend & APIs: greenfield services, refactors, performance work, observability
- Systems & Data: relational modeling, search, ETL, analytics, caching strategies
- Platform/DevOps: CI/CD, containers, Kubernetes, IaC basics, cost/ops optimization
- Applied LLMs: retrieval and operations
- Product help: roadmapping, scoping, engineering leadership
Recent/typical stack
Java + Spring Boot, .NET Core, Python, Node/TypeScript, Postgres, Elasticsearch, Redis, Docker/K8s, AWS, Nuxt/Vue, Supabase
Work with me
- Based in Berlin, available remote or on-site (EU)
- Flexible: project-based, or hourly/daily work
- Prefer clear scopes, measurable outcomes, and respectful collaboration
