Akın Öztorun · Senior Frontend Engineer

Nine years shipping frontend that holds up at scale.

I own frontend architecture end to end — from API contracts to CI quality gates. My last funnel handled 400K applications per year; I took its completion rate from 39% to 65%.

How I work

What it is like to ship a slice together.

1

Contracts first

Agree on the API and data shapes before building screens. Generate types, mock early, and keep a simple contract check in CI.

2

Vertical slices

Own one slice end to end, from user goal to contract, UI states, monitoring, and a calm rollout plan.

3

Quality in the pipeline

Linting, tests, code checks, and basic performance checks live in CI so they run on every change, not only before big releases.

4

Clear collaboration

Ask precise questions, write short docs, and make trade offs visible so others can decide with you, not after you.

Selected projects

Architecture demos that show how I approach contracts, data fetching, and quality.
