Curriculum Vitae

İlter Engin KIZILGÜN

Full Stack Developer · Embedded & Electronics

# Profile

Programming professionally for 15 years, with 12 years of electronics and 5 years of mechanics alongside it. I enjoy the backend most and try as many new technologies as I can. I work well under pressure and put together large project structures easily. I look for the right tool for the job — and when I can't find one, I build it.
