Hey, I'm Keremcan
I'm a software developer, a founder, and soon-to-be confident enough to call myself a polyglot. I speak human and computer languages, and I build apps I wish existed.
I studied computer programming in high school 15 years ago, then took a detour into Slavic Languages and Literatures at university. Before I went into coding full-time, I was a language guy. I even taught English for a couple of years.
When you have that background in languages and tech, what do you do? You build a language learning app, turn it into a startup, make a living out of it for 3 years, mess things up, shut it down, and build the next one.
I speak JavaScript and TypeScript. I use React Native, Next.js, and Express.js to bring my ideas to life. I use PostgreSQL or sometimes NoSQL to persist them. Lately I've been deep into native Apple platform development with Swift and SwiftUI — they're pretty cool. And huge shoutout to Firebase.
I've been doing this stuff for more than four years now. Along the way, I've built two startups and shipped about 8 products. You can check some of these out here
Outside of work, I'm into weight training, languages (currently learning Spanish), and reading non-fiction. I speak English, Turkish, Polish, and Russian.
