CORE / DEEPENING
Backend systems
Java, Spring, PostgreSQL, concurrency, event-driven design, testing and observability.
Make the system correct before making it clever.
Final-year computer engineering student
Systems that can act, recover and explain themselves.
I’m Levent — a backend-focused software engineer in progress. At Garanti BBVA Technology, I contribute to Mainframe-to-Java modernization; beyond the internship, I’m developing toward distributed systems and reliable agentic AI.

01 — Engineering direction
Not a stack collector.
A systems thinker in training.
I’m building depth in one connected direction: dependable backends, AI workflows that earn autonomy, and product surfaces that make complex behavior understandable.
02
EDGE / EXPLORING
Reliable agents
Tool use, durable workflows, evals, human approval, security and failure recovery.
Autonomy is useful only when it is measurable.
03
SURFACE / BUILDING
Product clarity
React and TypeScript interfaces that turn system state, decisions and traces into a product people can use.
If users cannot understand it, it is not finished.
02 — Experience trajectory
Learning how large organizations change software.
Three internships gave me views into industrial operations, banking and technology delivery. I’m now turning those observations into engineering depth.

01
Karadeniz Holding
My first professional engineering environment and an introduction to technology within large-scale industrial operations.
03 — Now / next
Building the foundation before making the claim.
Systems fundamentals
Java internals, databases, networking, operating systems, algorithms and distributed-system failure modes.
One defensible flagship
I’m researching a real problem worth solving — then I’ll publish the product, architecture decisions, evals and failure analysis.
Engineering judgment
Choosing simple designs first, measuring trade-offs and learning to explain every important line and decision.
A working principle
“The goal is not to add AI to software. It is to build software that deserves the responsibility we give it.”
04 — Contact
Let’s talk about hard problems, not buzzwords.
I’m interested in new-grad software engineering opportunities, especially teams working on backend platforms, modernization and dependable AI-enabled products.
