Experience

Messaging Platform

https://bip.com/en/

The project is a server-side BiP messaging application that I designed and developed. It gave the new generation an instant messaging, voice, and video-call experience. This platform has millions of users from over 100 countries and can scale linearly.

I worked on this project as a software developer, architect, and team lead.

Conference Solution

http://www.bipmeet.com

I designed and developed a multi-tenancy conference solution from scratch, leading a team in the design, implementation, and deployment phases to meet customer expectations. I also delivered program and project management and analyzed customer requirements. There were team-building stages and technical interviews that I participated in.

This product comprises many modules, including API interfaces and third-party solutions to manage meetings programmatically. Companies can use the same infrastructure with a private web address and specify user names on a screen. Third-party providers and individuals can view the meeting reports they participated in.

I also completed the payment system integration, allowing customers to buy a private meeting ID via credit card or mobile payment methods.

Mobile Device Management System

The UDM project is a device-change event dispatching system used by GSM operators to track SIM cards and mobile phone changes. I was the development phase leader, overseeing customer meetings and delivering the tools aligned with the most appropriate technologies.

Bulk SMS Platform

A bulk SMS platform project used by GSM operators to send SMS messages. I've contributed to the project as the software development phase leader. The project required high performance in load testing for platform improvement.

Nortel VoIP Platform

http://netas.com.tr/

A2 is Nortel's VoIP solution, currently maintained by foreign and Turkish engineers, including over 40,000 Java classes and C codes.

I collaborated with Genband's engineers to implement new features and solve related problems while handling the base architecture, including multithreading, JVM performance issues, traffic, and overload conditions.

XML Gateway

The Public Integration Box project is a highly secure device and active working redundancy system that provides web services and monitors data over VPN. It consists of IPSEC VPN, a firewall, IDS/IPS, and load balancer components.

I worked on this project as a software development phase leader.

Health Tourism System

A platform that I've designed in collaboration with a teammate to facilitate the appropriate doctor and hospital arrangements for patients coming from abroad. Access to the system is possible via web and mobile terminals, and users are informed of updates via notifications.

Remote Patient Monitoring System

https://www.physiq.com/

I designed and implemented load test tools in Kotlin and Python. I also created test plans, reports, and scenarios for testing project requirements to ensure the overall quality of the delivered software. Additionally, I worked on the relationship traceability between requirements and test cases, contributing to and assisting in improving test methods and strategies. I also communicated findings to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Automatic Prepaid Payment System

Automatic control of a prepaid payment system used as a tool between prepaid payment firms and operators. The system connects to the web pages of different telecom operators, then scraps and fills form posts automatically from the web page.

Push Notification Platform

The push notification platform was designed and implemented to reach offline users. It applied microservices and async communication paradigms, and the system could scale quickly and linearly. Some platform features include:
• GCM and Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) XMPP Connection Server
• APNS TCP and HTTP/2 connection
• Java, Spring Boot, and Kafka
• Message throttling
• Parallel programming
• Grafana and Prometheus

BiP Web GUI

https://web.bip.com

The BiP Web UI is one of the terminals, such as mobile and desktop apps. The project involved designing and implementing the web UI parallel work with users' mobile devices and handling the WebSocket connection. I also used Angular as a web framework.

BiP Discover Management Console

https://discover.bip.com

A corporate customer administrator panel with diverse functionalities, including a super admin that can create and activate new corporate customers. It was a full-stack project that used Angular as a web framework. I also handled role management and the customer management portal.

Database Migration Project

A database migration project of millions of users' roster data from RDBMS to NoSQL on the fly, without any service interruption. It involved redesigning the tables in terms of needs for the NoSQL tech stack and coding a scala job to retrieve data in RDBMS and then create it in SSTable format.

Reconciliation Application

Implemented solutions for the investment industry on a global scale. They offer a range of services, from middle-office outsourcing to custody, fund administration, foreign exchange, and others.

I created new back-end functionalities and services. I implemented back-end services in terms of the microservices concept. ActiveMQ and FeignClient were used for intercommunication, and the UI was created using Angular 12. For identity services, Keycloak is used to create users and services with a range of roles.

Messaging App Similar to WhatsApp Business

https://api.ayoba.me/business/api-docs/

I created a messaging platform with functionalities similar to WhatsApp Business.

FEATURES
• 3rd-parties can consume APIs.
• Security flows were designed to include JWT roles, HMAC, initial registration, etc.
• A linearly scalable platform handling high messaging throughput.

Trading Tool | Kalshi, Polymarket, Fix

http://redwoodcm.com

The project involves rebuilding existing software to ensure its long-term usability and connecting to multiple market feeds to create order books. The current system uses Python for data parts with databases, including PostgreSQL. The application was designed and implemented from scratch by using the Java programming language. The application connects to Kalshi and Polymarket platforms over a WebSocket to retrieve the real-time events, which are processed in five milliseconds in the application. Then, it is published over the UDP channel to the network (Aeron). I also implemented several environmental projects to retrieve the marks and assets from the corresponding system and store them in databases periodically. The platform works on AWS.
