About

With a Master of Science in Computer Science and Engineering from Koç Üniversitesi and a rigorous background in Mathematics, my journey has currently led me to Microsoft, where I excel as a Software Engineer II. Here, my core competencies lie in developing and enhancing distributed database services, particularly Azure's Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL. My technical acumen is bolstered by proficiency in C#, OOP, and my contributions to both backend and frontend developments. At Microsoft, our team's collaborative efforts have significantly improved the reliability and functionality of our database offerings, such as the integration of Orafce into Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL and the creation of developer tools for incident investigation. These advancements reflect our commitment to customer support and product enhancement. In this dynamic environment, I leverage my skills to contribute to a culture of innovation, aiming to deliver solutions that resonate with the diverse needs of our global user base.
