# Gokay Canberk Abanoz > Software Engineer | Full-Cycle Development (Web, API, Data & Cloud) | Building Scalable Systems Location: Brooklyn, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/gokay Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience building scalable API's and data-driven systems in cloud environments. I specialize in designing backend architectures, data pipelines, and event-driven systems that translate business requirements into reliable, production-ready solutions. My work often sits at the intersection of data, systems, and decision-making, especially in client-facing and consulting-style projects. Recently, I’ve been delivering end-to-end solutions for businesses, building custom software services, and data-focused backend workflows using .NET, Python, React, and cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, and GCP. Previously, I worked on large-scale platforms across e-commerce, fintech, media, and marketplaces, applying patterns like DDD, CQRS, and streaming architectures with Kafka and Debezium. I enjoy roles that allow me to combine engineering, data, and analytical thinking to design systems that scale and have a real business impact. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Artı Stüdyo Jan 2024 – Present | Brooklyn, New York, United States • Worked within a creative branding agency, delivering custom technical solutions to support rebranding initiatives and new digital product launches. • Partnered directly with clients to identify technical gaps and system limitations, defining and implementing backend and frontend solutions tailored to their needs. • Designed, built, and delivered production applications, ensuring seamless handover and long-term usability for clients. • Developed custom CMS platforms and RESTful APIs using .NET Core, Python, Node.js, SQL and React. • Implemented data-focused backend workflows and owned the full delivery lifecycle, including cloud deployments and CI/CD pipelines across AWS, GCP, and Firebase, ensuring smooth go-live and post-launch stability. ### Software Engineer @ Lightnift Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | United States • Designed and deployed RESTful APIs using .NET Core, as well as collaborated on the development of a custom dashboard built with React and TypeScript. • Built real-time data pipelines with Debezium and Kafka, streaming data from PostgreSQL to Couchbase DB. • Implemented DDD, CQRS, and MediatR, reducing system complexity by 30 • Improved performance and data access efficiency through Redis caching strategies. • Used Python to process large datasets supporting backend and analytics use cases. ### Back End Developer @ Neredekal.com Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 • Developed .NET Core microservices using CQRS and event-driven architecture (RabbitMQ, CAP) • Built internal CMS components and backend services supporting a high-traffic travel platform. • Implemented MongoDB, Redis, and Elasticsearch for efficient data access and search. • Managed CI/CD pipelines and version control using Azure DevOps. • Improved code quality and reduced post-deployment issues through code reviews and unit testing. ### Software Developer @ Farmazon Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | Istanbul, Turkey • Developed and maintained APIs and background jobs using .NET Core for a B2B e-commerce platform. • Worked with Kafka, MS SQL, MongoDB, and AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda) in production systems. • Optimized performance using Elastic and Redis, support data processing and ETL workflows implemented in Python. • Ensured high code quality through code reviews and unit testing. ### Azure .NET Developer @ Wellbees Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | İstanbul, Turkey • Developed backend APIs from scratch for mobile and web applications using .NET Core, ensuring robust functionality. • Implemented Azure functions microservices to create scalable and reliable systems, enhancing performance. • Utilized EF Core and MS SQL, adhering to clean coding and scalability principles to optimize database interactions. ### .NET Developer @ Hürriyet Jan 2017 – Jan 2019 | Istanbul, Turkey • Developed and maintained a media project using .NET MVC, SQL, MongoDB, Redis, Elastic, and Kibana. • Integrated CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, Octopus, and AWS, for seamless deployments and high system reliability. • Collaborated within a Scrum for features, utilizing GIT for version control and JIRA for ticketing. ## Education ### Bachelor of Engineering - BE in Computer Software Engineering Bahcesehir University Jan 2010 – Jan 2015 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/gokay-abanoz - Website: https://www.gokayabanoz.com --- Source: https://flows.cv/gokay JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/gokay/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-01
