Hi, I’m Oktay — Frontend Developer from Istanbul

I’m someone who gets excited about clean design, good code, and the smell of freshly brewed coffee. I enjoy turning ideas into real, usable experiences, and I’m passionate about building interfaces that not only look good but also feel great to use.

Crafting clean interfaces for complex products

Right now, I’m working as a Frontend Developer at Turkish Airlines, one of the world’s leading airlines. I’m part of a team focused on building and improving digital products used by millions of travelers every day. Before that, I was a Frontend Team Lead at Akinon, a company known for delivering e-commerce solutions to world-renowned brands. There, I worked with a great team to create user-friendly, high-quality applications.

In my daily work, I mainly use TypeScript, React and Next.js I really enjoy working with for their power and flexibility. I also enjoy using design tools like Figma and Sketch not just for work, but because I’ve always been drawn to design and love creating things visually. I used to be more hands-on with UI/UX design, but over time, my focus naturally shifted toward development. Still, design has become a side passion I still enjoy.

Outside of work, I like to slow things down a bit. I enjoy gaming, spending time in quiet cafés, and occasionally taking my camera with me. I don’t always have the time for photography, but when something catches my eye, I like to capture it. It’s just a hobby, but it helps me notice and appreciate the small details around me.

I’m always happy to connect, collaborate, or just have a chat. If you’d like to get in touch, feel free to reach out!
