Senior .NET backend developer, Gaziantep, Türkiye

I build .NET backends: distributed services, multi-tenant platforms, and the integrations that hold them together. Thirteen years in software, eight of them on .NET. Open to remote contract work.

Senior Backend Developer

SHFT Technology

Mar 2026 — now

.NET 10, CQRS with MediatR, DDD, Kubernetes, Amazon S3, Grafana, Loki

Backend services on .NET 10, split into bounded contexts with CQRS so the business rules stay separate from the plumbing around them.

They run on Kubernetes, with S3 for object storage. I built out the Grafana and Loki side, so metrics and logs cover the whole set of services instead of one at a time.

Senior Backend Developer, contract

Decarbonia, İstanbul

Sep 2025 — Feb 2026

.NET 9, Minimal APIs, EF Core, SQL Server, Azure Blob Storage, SendGrid, Twilio, OpenAI API

A multi-tenant platform on .NET 9. Each tenant's data is isolated at the query level, sign-in is JWT with refresh tokens, and every request goes through one MediatR pipeline that handles validation, authorization, logging and transactions. The API itself is ASP.NET Core Minimal APIs, documented with OpenAPI.

EF Core and SQL Server underneath, with code-first migrations, soft deletes and audit trails. Anything slow goes onto a queue for background workers to pick up. Azure Blob Storage, SendGrid, Twilio and the OpenAI API sit at the edges.

Senior Backend Developer, contract

amplicade / aldi-deals.de, Köln

Jul 2024 — Sep 2025

ASP.NET Core, microservices, Keycloak, Payone, Azure Service Bus, Umbraco, Kubernetes

I was the backend for the Aldi Deals platform. Payments, users and messaging each ran as their own service, with Keycloak handling identity, Payone taking card payments, and Azure Service Bus carrying messages between them. Content came out of Umbraco. All of it containerised on Kubernetes, behind Azure WAF.

Senior Backend Developer

Idenfit, İstanbul

Sep 2023 — May 2024

.NET, platform migration, code review

Led the team that moved a Java codebase onto .NET. The systems already in production had to keep running throughout, so a good part of the job was working the requirements out with the teams that depended on them before anything moved. I ran code review and mentored the junior developers through it.

Senior Backend Developer

Luteg Software, İstanbul

Sep 2021 — Sep 2023

Microservices, Azure Functions, Service Bus, Blob Storage, Shopify, ETSY, ShipStation

Took projects from scoping through to production — technology choices, database schema, service boundaries — and built them as microservices on Azure Functions, Service Bus and Blob Storage.

Most of it was integration work. Shopify, ETSY and ShipStation on the order side; DHL, USPS, UPS and FedEx on the shipping side; wired together so orders reached the warehouses in the US without anyone rekeying them.

Co-Founder and Developer

Marketsenin İnternet Hizmetleri A.Ş., Gaziantep

Jul 2017 — Feb 2021

ASP.NET, supplier integrations, payment gateway

Co-founded an online grocery delivery business and built its backend on ASP.NET. Connecting the suppliers' own systems meant orders could be raised automatically and stock stayed in sync. I also set up the payment gateway, to the card industry's security standards.

General Manager

IEP Bilişim Danışmanlık, Gaziantep

Mar 2017 — May 2021

My own consultancy, run alongside the work above. IT and e-commerce advice for other businesses — architecture, software selection, process design — plus ISO 27001 engagements, taking companies from risk assessment through policies and controls to their certification audit.

E-commerce Operation Manager

Eruslu Health Products, Gaziantep

May 2015 — Mar 2017

Designed the company's e-commerce architecture — modules, databases, interfaces — and then ran the operation on it, including how customer data was collected and used.

Head of IT

Eruslu Group Companies, Gaziantep

Jan 2015 — Mar 2017

Built a single IT function across the group's companies and led the team that ran it. I also took the Netsis ERP rollout on the production floor, set up so the line could be watched as it ran.

Apr 2013 — Dec 2014

Worked on the in-house software with the team, and put the security baseline in place: segmented networks, firewalls, authentication and logging.
