Baran Adalı
Software Developer
I'm Baran, a software engineer based in Istanbul. I build products end-to-end — mobile apps, web dashboards, backend APIs, and the infrastructure behind them. I built an entire SaaS platform from scratch, alone — from SDK architecture and event pipelines to production infrastructure.
My day-to-day spans React Native/Expo, Next.js, Node.js, and occasionally Python and Swift. I care about writing code that works reliably at scale, whether that's an offline-first batching system, a podcast generation pipeline running on an Azure VM, or an AI chat streaming responses in real-time. I'm equally comfortable designing a database schema, provisioning a server, or fine-tuning a mobile animation.
Experience
Throughout my career, I've worked on various projects, from building scalable systems to designing user-friendly interfaces. Here's a brief overview.
