Samet Karadağ

Backend Developer & Full-Stack Engineer

Architecting high-scale systems with .NET 9, Clean Architecture, and React 19 — bridging complex backend logic with precision-driven UI.

About Me

Bridging Backend Logic with Creative Vision

I'm a backend-first developer with a deep passion for scalable system design. I cut my teeth as a Backend Developer intern at Tersan, where I engineered .NET 9 Web APIs using Layered Architecture and Clean Code principles — reducing system latency by 40% through Redis caching and Hangfire background task management.

On the frontend, I bring that same engineering discipline to React 19 and Next.js — crafting UIs that are not just beautiful, but precisely architected. From Swiss-style minimalism to immersive 3D experiences, I believe the bridge between server logic and client vision is where great products are born.

Currently pursuing a B.Sc. in Computer Engineering at Yalova University and open to full-time or freelance roles where engineering depth meets creative ambition.
