About me

Builder, thinker,
AI enthusiast.

I'm Dogukan, a Turkish-origin software engineer who cares deeply about building things that work well and feel right.

My Story

Born and raised in Türkiye, shaped by Mediterranean culture and a genuine love for food, people, and curiosity. I grew up tinkering with how things work, and somewhere along the way that curiosity turned into a career in software engineering.

I am drawn to environments where technology meets real human impact. Working in international settings has shaped how I think about building software, diverse teams, global problems, and solutions that need to work for people across different cultures and contexts.

When I am not shipping code, you will find me cooking something Mediterranean, exploring Rome, or going deep on a topic I know nothing about yet. I believe the best engineers stay genuinely curious, both about technology and about life outside the screen.
