About

Hej! Hej! 👋🏻 As a technical team lead at Tarfin, I specialize in working with PHP, particularly the Laravel framework, as well as JavaScript, with a focus on Vue.js 3, Nuxt 3, and Capacitor.js. In my role, I oversee our application, sales, and operations teams, ensuring smooth collaboration and efficient project management. I bring over a decade of experience in software engineering and management, having worked on a variety of projects ranging from failed startups to successful platforms with thousands of daily transactions. My passion for technology extends beyond my day job, as I'm also an active open-source developer. I maintain PHP and Swift repositories, and contribute to projects in multiple languages and frameworks. Some of my recent projects include BlindNote, a secure note-taking service built using TALL Stack, and Phony Framework, a PHP tool for generating fake data based on statistical analysis. Throughout my career, I've worked directly with CEOs, finance managers, marketing managers, and other key stakeholders both domestically and abroad. My ability to communicate effectively with a wide range of people, coupled with my expertise in PHP, Laravel, JavaScript, Vue.js, Nuxt, and Capacitor.js, has been crucial in managing successful projects and teams. When I'm not working, you can find me blogging about web development, design, and productivity on my personal website, deligoz.me. I'm also an avid learner, and constantly seek out new opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills, particularly in my core technologies. If you're interested in connecting or learning more about my work, feel free to reach out. I'm always happy to chat with like-minded professionals in the tech industry who share my enthusiasm for PHP, Laravel, and JavaScript frameworks.

  • Open Source Developer at Open Source
    Jun 2019 - Present · 7 yrs 2 mos

    As an open source developer, I'm passionate about contributing to the community and building innovative software that is accessible to everyone. I actively maintain PHP and Swift repositories, and have contributed to many other repositories across a variety of languages and frameworks. Here are some examples of my recent projects: ❖ 👋🏻 Deligoz.me - My personal blog, built using Statamic/Laravel, which includes articles on topics such as web development, design, and productivity. ❖ 🙈 BlindNote - A secure note-taking service that encrypts user data and uses end-to-end encryption to protect user privacy. This project was built using Laravel Livewire. ❖ ⓧ XDebugToggler - A macOS menubar app that simplifies the process of toggling XDebug on/off for local development. This project was built using Swift and Xcode. ❖ 🙃 Phony Framework - Phony Framework is a tool that performs statistical analysis on large text and generates Lorem Ipsum-style words that look like real but don't have to be. The generated words and sentences do not necessarily have to be meaningful. Because It can perform statistical analysis on texts in any language, it can produce words that resemble the language it is working with. This means that theoretically, Phony can generate words in any language. ❖ 🆔 tckimlikno Laravel Package - A Laravel package that validates Turkish National Identification Numbers (TCKN). This project was built using PHP and is available on Packagist. In addition to my own projects, I've also contributed to many open-source projects by translating them into/from Turkish, English, and German. By contributing to open source, I'm able to hone my skills, share my knowledge with others, and build software that has a positive impact on the world.
