Leading frontend architecture for developer tools and AI-powered features.

From June 2022 to June 2025, I worked as a freelance web developer and game creator, choosing independence to focus on Shopify e-commerce, SEO, digital marketing, frontend technologies, WordPress, and Unity game development. I built custom Shopify stores using Liquid, creating responsive themes and integrating apps like Klaviyo and Judge.me via REST/GraphQL APIs for payments, inventory, and analytics. Performance was optimized with lazy loading, image compression, and SEO techniques like schema markup, boosting load times and search rankings. I delivered multiple scalable stores for clients in fashion, health, and tech. For WordPress, I developed custom PHP themes and plugins, optimized speed with WP Rocket and Cloudflare, and enhanced SEO with Yoast, delivering fast, secure sites for businesses and blogs. In SEO and digital marketing, I conducted technical audits with Ahrefs, created keyword-driven content, and managed Google Ads/Meta Ads, increasing organic traffic and conversions. Frontend work involved crafting responsive interfaces with HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and React for dynamic user engagement. In Unity, I designed and published games, leveraging C# for gameplay and cross-platform compatibility. This journey highlights my technical expertise and ability to deliver client-focused solutions across web and game development, with a strong emphasis on Shopify.

As a part-time Business Analyst at Vakıf Katılım, I actively contributed to key banking projects by bridging the gap between business stakeholders and development teams. My primary responsibilities included analyzing business processes, gathering and documenting requirements for new digital banking features, and translating them into clear user stories and functional specifications. I played a supportive role in mapping 'as-is' and 'to-be' processes, ensuring that proposed solutions were aligned with both customer needs and the principles of participation banking. Additionally, I assisted in the preparation of test cases and participated in User Acceptance Testing (UAT) to validate that the final product met the required standards.
