As a filmmaker, I have 15 years of experience in film and digital marketing. During this time, I developed and managed numerous commercial strategies for major brands, films, and other productions from script development to the editing stage. I have participated in film festivals with my independent short films and received awards. Additionally, I have been part of teams for major TV networks and blockbuster films, organized workshops, masterclasses, events, and produced podcasts for filmmaking enthusiasts.
As a developer, I founded Turkey's largest filmmaker platform 13 years ago and managed both its technical aspects and content. Over these years, I have acquired technical skills in Wordpress, HTML, CSS, Python, and Django, along with soft skills such as communication, presentation, organization, PR, teaching, targeting, and managing growth. However, realizing that merely knowing what I needed wasn't sufficient, I decided to concentrate more on my development skills, which developed organically.
Currently, as a Python Backend Developer with 5+ years of industry experience, I specialize in building scalable, efficient, and maintainable backend systems. I take a proactive, results-driven approach and thrive in remote, agile teams, whether taking full ownership of tasks, collaborating closely with teammates, or contributing to shared goals. My expertise includes designing and optimizing RESTful APIs, improving database query performance, and working with data structures and system architecture. I actively participate in architectural discussions, perform thorough code reviews, and help maintain high standards of code quality across teams. Beyond technical execution, I bring valuable experience from startups and creative industries, where adaptability, team collaboration, and creative problem-solving are key. I enjoy designing solutions with diverse user needs and edge cases in mind, ensuring the products I build are both technically robust and user-centric.
As an entrepreneur, I established and managed a boutique agency called Parazit Film & Digital Workz in 2009 within the marketing industry. We collaborated with numerous industry-leading companies and I have been selected for entrepreneurship projects by institutions such as Goldman Sachs, Anadolu Foundation, and Endeavor. I have also volunteered for various organizations and contributed to projects related to women entrepreneurship, such as Bizbizze, as a speaker to support the community.
