About Gungor

I am a Fullstack Software Engineer with 15 years of experience, mainly focused on Web. I'm strongest and driven when there is a problem at hand and I can take ownership with good communication and agency.

My preferred and most recent stack is Elixir/Phoenix, however I'm quite proficient in Typescript, React, Nextjs and Node too.

In terms of problem domain, I've mostly worked in real-time systems, chat applications, chatbots, AI, complex editor UIs and e-learning.

I'm also interested in 3d-printing, electronics and XR for more artsy projects, prototypes etc. Nowadays my obsession is to break from 2d screens and bringing computation more to 3d real world :)
