Computer Engineer

Hi! I'm Kaan. I love building things. I enjoy being involved in every stage of the product development process. I also love exploring what’s going on under the hood of modern technology, which is why I like learning about all sides of it instead of sticking to just front-end or back-end. Programming feels more like a hobby than a job (it really does).

KnowUsBetter

KnowUsBetter

KnowUsBetter is a mobile game app for couples and friends who want to get to know each other better. Couples can test their connection by playing real-time challenges together - each from their own device. To create certain types of rooms, users need to purchase in-game coins. The app supports 3 languages: English, Turkish, and Spanish. KnowUsBetter is a user-loved app, with nearly 20% of its users choosing to purchase coins (a small but meaningful sign of the value and engagement the platform provides).

DeepIntoDev

In the world of software development, filled with frameworks and abstractions, I often felt like I was just using technologies without truly understanding them. So, I started digging deeper, and researching. That's why I created DeepIntoDev: to break down complex programming concepts into easy-to-understand explanations. DeepIntoDev has reached over 1 million views on platforms like Reddit and Google, and more than +1000 developers around the globe have subscribed to its newsletter.
