About

02

I'm Oğuzhan Taşımaz, a software engineer focused on the backend: distributed systems, edge computing, and the infrastructure that keeps products running. Most of my work is in Go.

I've built backend microservices for Huawei Cloud Workspace, integrated point of sale systems at Qlub, and built data pipelines for an esports analytics platform at Scoutli. These days I work for myself, shipping my own products and taking on freelance backend, mobile, and web projects.

Away from the keyboard I shoot photography and videography, play the flute, snowboard, and spend more time than I should in Tolkien's world. Based in Istanbul, working with teams globally.

Tools I reach for

Go · PostgreSQL · MongoDB · Redis · Kafka · Docker · AWS Lambda · GCP Functions · Firebase · TypeScript · React Native · Python
