welcome

Hi, I'm Uğur Soğukpınar, a Software Developer and problem solver with over 10 years of experience building scalable systems.

About me

Hi, I'm Uğur, a Lead Backend Engineer from Istanbul with 10+ years of experience.
My journey started at 6, installing Linux distros on the family PC and reverting them before my brother got home!

Stack:

NodeJS / Go / Python
AWS & GCP
Kubernetes / Docker
PostgreSQL / MongoDB
PHP / Laravel

I love solving problems. From building WebRTC video banking systems to leading the tech integration of SmartGift into 1-800-Flowers.com, I've touched every part of the stack.

Beyond work, I'm a husband and father to a girl. I enjoy reading history books and running my own homelab server.

Let's start working together!
