Hi, I'm Oğuzhan.
I live in Istanbul. I wrote my first lines of code while studying Physics Engineering at Hacettepe University, in Prof. Dr. Yiğit Gündüç's programming classes — and I never stopped. From 2022 I built freelance projects; since 2024 I've been working at MLP Care as a Full-Stack .NET Developer. Outside work I keep building: at ByteCraft, the company I co-founded with my friend Ali Ozan Özkul, we develop VectoPos for restaurants, and on my own I build Elevare CMS, the system this very site runs on. I'm hard-working, and when something breaks I'm obsessed with fixing it until it's solved.

My journey
Physics Engineering · Hacettepe University
I wrote my first code here, in Prof. Dr. Yiğit Gündüç's programming classes. Physics taught me to think in models; software taught me to solve them.
2019Freelance software developer
Built web applications for a range of clients.
2022 – 2024Co-founded ByteCraft
Started ByteCraft with my friend Ali Ozan Özkul to build our own products.
2023Full-Stack .NET Developer · MLP Care
My first full-time role: building end-to-end .NET applications in healthcare.
January 2024Elevare CMS
Started writing my own block-based CMS on GrapesJS and Blazor Server — the page you're reading was built with it.
August 2025VectoPos goes live
Our POS/SaaS product that brings restaurant orders, tables and stock into a single panel went live.
January 2026
What I do
Backend and distributed systems
Services in .NET; queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ), caching (Redis) and databases (PostgreSQL, MSSQL). My priority: fast today, and still easy to maintain years from now.
Product: VectoPos
Under ByteCraft: a POS/SaaS product that brings restaurant orders, tables and stock management into a single panel.
Open source: Elevare CMS
A block-based CMS for building and running a site without writing code. This site is Elevare's longest-running test.
Writing and teaching
I write up what I learn in articles and talk about it on YouTube — from bitwise operations in C# to Aristotle's Categories.
My tech stack
C# / .NET is at the centre of everything: APIs with ASP.NET Core, admin panels with Blazor Server, data access with Entity Framework Core. Clean layers, the Result pattern and testable code aren't a luxury for me — they're the default.
PostgreSQL and MSSQL for relational data; Redis for caching; Kafka and RabbitMQ for messaging between services. Understanding how a system behaves under load is one of my favourite problems.
React for interfaces; GrapesJS for the drag-and-drop page builder at the heart of Elevare. I care about a fast, accessible interface as much as the service behind it.
Everything runs in Docker; it ships with nginx on Linux servers. This site goes live on its own the moment I push.
I'm hard-working. When something breaks, I'm obsessed with it until it's solved.
Away from the desk
Motorcycles
The best way to clear my head: a helmet, the road and a bit of wind.
Chess
Thinking a few moves ahead — also the first rule of good architecture.
Philosophy
There's even an article of mine tracing object-oriented programming back to Aristotle's Categories.
Games
In RTS, lately Surviving Mars and Ancestors Legacy; my all-time favourites are the Souls games — Elden Ring and Dark Souls.
These days
Elevare
Still building the CMS this site runs on; every new block is tried here first.
Archmage Simulator
The game project I'm working on.
Things people ask me most
How did you go from physics engineering to software?
I wrote my first code in Prof. Dr. Yiğit Gündüç's programming classes at Hacettepe and never stopped after that. I graduated in 2019; from 2022 I worked freelance, and since 2024 I've been developing software professionally at MLP Care.
Why did you write your own CMS?
I wanted to combine a good web application with a solid SEO foundation. I wanted full control over my own site — and for someone who can't code to be able to build and run theirs. Elevare is open source and free.
What is VectoPos?
A POS/SaaS product Ali Ozan Özkul and I build under ByteCraft: order, table and stock management for restaurants in a single panel. It went live in January 2026.
Which technologies do you work with?
Mostly C# / .NET, alongside PostgreSQL, MSSQL, Redis, Kafka, RabbitMQ, Docker and React. The details are in "My tech stack" above.
Do you take freelance or consulting work?
No, I don't take freelance or consulting work — but I'm open to new job opportunities. If you're stuck on something, ask: I'll answer for free, as best I can — just use the form below.
Which languages do you speak?
Turkish and English.
A job opportunity, or a problem to solve?
I'm open to new job opportunities. If you're stuck on something, write to me too — I'll help for free, as best I can.
