More about Yekta

Senior software engineer focused on predictable delivery.

I own React/Next.js architecture, data contracts, and testing strategy for products that can’t afford regressions.

My day-to-day is TypeScript builds, API integrations, and performance audits backed by real metrics.

Based in 🇬🇧 United Kingdom, I’m usually pairing with engineers, reviewing PRs, or automating another check into CI.

About Me

I’ve led software initiatives in small teams where a single release can impact thousands of users. I design the architecture, implement core flows, and set the guardrails that keep velocity high.

Expect thorough code reviews, measurable targets, and documentation that makes handoffs painless.

How I operate

• Direct user feedback loops tied to analytics dashboards.
• Shared component libraries with versioning and upgrade paths.
• Non-negotiable accessibility and performance budgets.
• Async updates with clear owners and next steps.
