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.

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—tools 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!
