I build web, mobile and backend, start to finish.

I'm Mert, a fullstack developer. I build e-commerce, payments and ERP-connected apps with Next.js, React Native and Node.js. I work remotely from Turkey.

For a faster reply, message me directly:

I've worked on projects for Boyner (through PATH), Harmoni Yazılım, Qrispy, Hopgogo and SubmitApp.

How I work

  • I reply fast

    I care about answering quickly. The easiest way to reach me is WhatsApp.

  • Easy to reach

    Email, the form or WhatsApp. Use whichever suits you.

  • Your satisfaction comes first

    Customer satisfaction is how I measure the work. Finishing is not enough; it has to be useful.

  • I modernize old systems

    I study old or undocumented applications, work out how they behave, and move them to a modern setup.

What I do

Web apps and e-commerce
Storefronts, admin panels and customer portals with Next.js and React. Payments with Stripe or QNBPay, and integrations with ERP systems such as Uyumsoft.
Mobile apps
Mobile apps with React Native and Expo. Turborepo monorepos so web and mobile share packages.
Backend and integrations
APIs with Node.js, NestJS and .NET. PostgreSQL and MySQL databases. Integrations with Stripe, QNBPay, Telnyx and AWS services.
Hosting and migrations
VPS setup and self-hosting, moving off AWS managed services to cut cost, deployment on Railway and Neon. Moving from Create React App to Vite, and technical SEO.
Modernizing old applications
I study an old or undocumented application, work out how it behaves, and move it to a modern setup while keeping that behavior. For applications you own or have the right to change.
