About Me

Who I Am

Hi! I'm Cem, a passionate software engineer based in the UK. I specialise in building modern, performant web applications from concept to deployment — with a strong focus on developer experience and user-centric design.

With experience across the full stack, I enjoy working with cutting-edge technologies like Next.js, TypeScript, and cloud platforms. I'm driven by the challenge of turning complex problems into elegant, scalable solutions.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new technologies, contributing to open source, or enjoying the outdoors.

Research

Papers
