Intro
I'm Mert, a 20-year-old backend developer based in Istanbul. I've been coding for 7 years, with the last 4 years focused
primarily on Python. I have strong proficiency in the language and its ecosystem, including various frameworks and
tools. Additionally, I'm familiar with the fundamentals of C++ and STL algorithms. In the future, I want to work as an
embedded developer in sectors related to the defense industry, fintech, and electronics companies.
My main areas of work are backend development and Web3. I'm also interested in reverse engineering and data
scraping. I have hands-on experience with Python technologies such as FastAPI, Flask, Pydantic, Web3 libraries, and
Telethon. On the database side, I'm proficient in MySQL, SQLite, and MongoDB.
Beyond development, I have a solid understanding of IT fundamentals, including networking, DNS management and
cloud services. I use Git and GitHub for version control and rely on tools like ngrok, Nginx, AWS & Lambda and Vercel for
CI/CD. You can watch my mock interview from here.
