  • Implemented UDP protocols and used Netty to handle communication in an async manner. The prototype HTAWS application is displayed at the defense sector fair in Turkey. The air traffic message provider is installed on several NATO sites.
Technologies: Java 8, C++

Data Link Software Developer

2007 - 2009
MilSOFT
  • Developed Track Number Manager for Data Link 16 module. Link 16 has a huge Standard called STANAG, it is very formal, and I've understood and implemented it.
  • Developed Mil-Std-1553 IO Software Module. The Mil-Std-1553 protocol is a real-time data link protocol critical for real-time software and time-critical systems. I was able to understand it and implemented Bus Controllers Software Modules.
  • Developed Test Tool in Java and Swing to test DDS (Data Distribution Service) message level testing. It's still being used since 2007. The tests are XML-based, and it helped the whole team of testers to perform their tests efficiently and quickly.
  • Helped my colleagues write XML schemas. Before that, they were using XML without schemas which required them to manually check the validity of the configuration in the software. It was impactful for several teams because everybody has XML config.
Technologies: C++98, Solaris, XML, MIL-STD-1553, Link 16, Java, Swing, DDS

Solana Non-fungible Token Minting Sites

https://angry-battle-royle-ui.vercel.app/
I developed Solana's NFT minting websites for:
• Angry Battle Royale – angry-battle-royle-ui.vercel.app/
• Angry Keys – angrykeysui-tunca.vercel.app/
• Alpha Wolves NFTs – nft-landing-react.vercel.app/

Deployed the NFTs on Solana's Candy Machines and uploaded them to the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS). The websites integrate the Phantom wallet browser extension so the user signs and approves the NFT minting transaction through this wallet.

Solana Contracts for Token Swap and Solana Distribution

https://wise-cats-nft-token-swap.vercel.app/
I developed two separate Solana contracts using Anchor domain-specific language (DSL) and Rust.

The first contract is used to distribute SOLs deposited into the preliminary development agreement (PDA) of the contract to the shareholders. The NFT minting SOLs goes to the contract PDA, then the administrator of the contract calls the contract's distribution method.

The second one is a token swap contract. It swaps two proof-of-stake protocols and $600 Wise Tokens with one White List token that can be used for further NFT mints for the Wise Cats project.

Real-time IPFS Transaction Visualization on the Globe

Developed a real-time data visualization tool to display transactions using the Blockfrost.io gateway where Three.js and React are used to display the data.

Developed a WebSocket server to serve the last N transaction to Socket.IO clients. The server gathers geolocation data from the domain name system and IP location providers.

NiceHash QuickMiner Clone Ethereum and Monero Mining Software

Developed a clone of NiceHash QuickMiner with Electron and React where it uses XMRig and GMiner as back-end processes that perform actual mining. The users log in to the mining pool, and with their ID, they receive mining rewards.

Real-time Attack Data Visualization

https://softibiza-interactivemap.vercel.app/
Developed a real-time data monitor of thread intelligence which is a React application that displays the statistics and geolocation data regarding various types of threats on a globe. React and Redux manage real-time data while the Three.js globe displays the attacks.

The picture on the website is a screenshot of the working application.

Video Streaming on SoC over 3G

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PfkMXslM1LA9aQXNAktYtZijalRLAdugXYynu0D4Qd0/edit
I developed a video streaming system that streams real-time video over a 3G network. Leopard board is a video processing card that can encode video in real-time using digital signal processing. I integrated GStreamer, a point-to-point protocol daemon, USD driver for the modem, and Darwin Streaming Server to make it possible.

Avionics Modernization I/O and Control

I developed software components to handle avionics data buses on an integrity real-time operating system using C/C++:
• MIL-STD-1553
• ARINC 429
• Discrete

Other components include radio control and navigation device control.

Air Traffic Gateway

Developed a gateway application that feeds real-time civil aircraft traffic into the NATO command and control system.

We implemented several ICAO protocols to receive data from air traffic controller nodes and feed it into command and control system.

Wise Cats NFT

Wise Cats is a Solana-based NFT project, where I developed a token swap contract for the project and created the front end with React, to interact with it.

Solana is fast and cheap; however, contracts are not so easy to develop, and there are few resources. It's developed using Rust DSL, Solana, and anchor-lang. TypeScript is also used.

Tiplink Library for Solana

https://tiplink.io
A TypeScript library to generate tiplinks. A tiplink is an URL with a private wallet key stored in it. The tiplink purpose is to store the private key in the link and share it with the receiver. I believe it'll have a great place in the crypto world.

QuickBooks Custom Report

A custom report generator using the QuickBooks API. The customer requested me to generate a custom report not supported by the QuickBooks API. I gathered accounting data from several resources and processed the data to build the custom report. The report was complex; however, it provided valuable insight to the customer.

Solidity Baby Generation Game (Work in Progress)

The game is an Ethereum blockchain-based baby feeding game. Inspiration for the game came from CryptoZombies learning Solidity.

The plan is
+ Give birth to babies
+ Feed babies
• Grow babies like level up
• Grow faster by paying a fee
• Breed grownups level > 18 by mixing their DNAs
• Transfer ownership with an Ownable contract
• Implement the ERC721 interface to make it an NFT contract
• Add UI
• Add tests
• Add more tests

Integration of Leaf RUST Library into an Android Application

Integrated the github.com/eycorsican/leaf Rust library into an Android application for a client. It's used for VPN provider www.teon.com.
I used github.com/mozilla/rust-android-gradle to integrate the Rust library. and tested it on an Android emulator on Android Studio.
I manually developed JNI bindings for the Leaf Rust library using Rust.

Bitcoin Wallet Library

Node.js-based library sends bitcoins to the company's clients. Unlike other libraries, it uses a local bitcoin node to find the UTXOs. No external API dependencies. I've deployed two bitcoin instances on the client VPS and configured it to be secure.

Ethereum and Solana Wallet Service

A wallet service that provides users with deposit withdraw swap tokens on Solana and Ethereum blockchains. The APIs were developed with Python and FastAPI. It uses HD wallet technology to create accounts for different blockchains and can be extended to work on other blockchains.

Wash Trade Bot to Support Token Volume

A Node.js-based wash trade bot to support token volume on the PancakeSwap decentralized exchange. This wash trade bot manages several accounts to buy and sell tokens coordinatedly.

There are accounts with large amounts called whale accounts and then regular accounts, which are ten times more than whale accounts. While whale accounts purchase tokens and drive the token price up, regular ones buy after whales. Finally, whales sell large sums of their tokens to crash the prices.

Payment Web App

A web app with integration to:
• Mina
• Kadena
• Zksync
• Polygon
• Arbitrum
• Optimism
• Cardano
• Binance Smart Chain
• Solana
• Starknet
• SUI
I was the architect and oversaw the back-end and wallet integration.

Certificate of Deposit NFT (ERC-1155)

https://bscd-tunca.vercel.app/
Certificate of Deposit NFT based on ERC-1155 on Ethereum.

NFTs are 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 dollar bills. When a pawn shop gives cash to someone, they also issue those NFTs to the borrower.

I developed the front end to interact with the contract and itself.
