About Serkan

Senior Software Developer with 15+ years of experience in software architecture, development, and consulting, specializing in banking platforms, financial services, and business process management. Proven expertise in designing scalable, high-performance systems, optimizing system performance, and transitioning monolithic applications to microservices architecture. I have a strong background in API development, cloud computing, and DevOps, focusing on delivering cost-effective, business-driven solutions.

In my contract role at Eyesclear, I worked on the 3.0 Upgrade project, migrating from Java Servlets to Spring Boot 3.1.0. I played a key role in breaking down the monolithic architecture into independent microservices, decentralizing business logic, and improving system scalability and maintainability.

At DKK Partners, I contributed to application architecture design, selecting technologies and frameworks for a scalable, efficient system. I also designed a database schema to handle complex financial data, ensuring performance and data integrity. On the front end, I developed UI components with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, while on the back end, I implemented key business logic in Spring Boot. Additionally, I created an API layer to integrate with external financial services, streamlining data exchange with financial institutions.
