Huseyin Yilmaz

Hello, I am Huseyin Yilmaz.

I am a fullstack developer focusing on web projects.

Python

I have been working with python for more than 8 years. Python still is my go to language for large variety of tasks. I really appreciate simplicity, elegance and robustness of the language.

Django

From session management to database migrations, django supports large variety of tasks needed for any kind of project. Django's shortcomings are filled by community projects which makes django ideal for web development.

Javascript

I started liking javascript more and more, especially after the changes on ecmascript standard. My frontend development stack is backbone.js, jquery, lodash, bootstrap.

System design

After building more and more projects, I started thinking about system articture. I believe general structure of a project directly effects the performance of projects.

Open source

I built my career around opensource technologies. I believe giving back to community is very important for keeping open source community healthy and strong. I have more than 50 open source projects on my github account.

FP

I have a strong passion for Functional programming. Common lisp and emacs lisp were first fp languages that caught my attention. Later, I moved to erlang which thought me different design choices made by OTP framework. Lately, I have been working with haskell and implementing opensource utilities.

Testing

Like everyone else, I started learning about testing out of necessity. I began taking it more seriously after working on a project with good test coverage. I have a library for testing external APIs on github.(placebo).

Deployment

It is very important to deploy, manage and monitor projects on production environment. During my career I had the distinct opportunity to deploy and monitor our production systems.
