I founded Vorlaxen Labs to build open-source software, developer tools, and technical experiments. I work across backend systems, web platforms, DevOps, and embedded systems. I also lead product and engineering work on MektupX at Xristal.
Current work
Vorlaxen Labs
Founder & Maintainer
Independent open-source initiative where I build and maintain software projects, developer tools, and technical experiments. Work spans backend systems, web platforms, DevOps, embedded systems, and robotics.
About
- Based in Samsun, Turkey. I build and ship from here, remotely when the work allows it.
- I run Vorlaxen Labs as an independent open-source studio: libraries, developer tools, and side experiments I actually use in production.
- By day I am a full-stack engineer at Xristal, where I work on MektupX and other production web systems.
- I like problems that cross software and hardware: robotics, embedded systems, and tools that make other developers faster. I share what I learn on LinkedIn and GitHub as vorlaxen.
Engineering strengths
- Code review for correctness, security, and maintainability
- Modular backend design with clear boundaries and predictable errors
- Debugging backend, database, and integration issues in production
- Following existing project rules instead of unnecessary rewrites
- Checking AI-generated code for scope, correctness, and risk
