Özkan Mengi

Full-Stack Software Engineer

With over 15 years of experience in software development, I specialize in building scalable, full-stack web applications using .NET, Java, and modern front-end frameworks like Angular, Blazor, and solid hands-on experience with React and Vue when needed — including projects with multilingual interfaces and internationalization (i18n) in mind.

I'm that developer who gets a little too excited about new tech and innovation. I believe great products are born from curiosity, continuous improvement, and real collaboration.

My work spans real-time features with SignalR, distributed caching and session management using Redis, and event-driven architecture with RabbitMQ for background processing and system decoupling. I enjoy turning complex architecture — whether monolithic or microservice-based — into clean, reliable code that performs under pressure.

I speak English, Dutch, and Turkish.

Whether it’s designing APIs, setting up cloud infrastructure, or solving tough business challenges with the right tech stack — I love working with people who value quality and creativity.

If you have any questions or would like to chat about tech, don't hesitate to reach out.

Core Principles

Security by Design
I apply modern authentication and authorization practices like OAuth2 and OpenID Connect, using Duende IdentityServer and Keycloak. I’m experienced with PKCE, secure API access, and identity-driven architecture.
Clean, Maintainable Code
I follow SOLID principles, layered architecture, and write code that’s easy to maintain, test, and scale.
Modular & Scalable Architecture
From monoliths to microservices, I design modular systems using DDD, message-based communication, and real-time features when needed.
Global-Ready & Inclusive
I build applications with multilingual support (i18n), localization, and culture-aware formatting — ready for global use.
Automated & Reliable
CI/CD pipelines, Docker containers, Git workflows, and automated testing help me ensure smooth, dependable deployments and fast feedback loops.
Collaborative by Nature
I work closely with product owners, designers, and developers to create user-focused, durable solutions — with shared ownership and clear communication.

What I’m Working On & My Next Goals...

I’m currently exploring the use of AI agents to automate business processes and enhance productivity in modern organizations. It’s a fast-evolving space, and I’m eager to apply this technology in practical, scalable ways.

I’m also actively working toward the Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert and Azure AI Engineer Associate certifications to strengthen my expertise in cloud architecture and applied AI.

In addition, I’m researching the best approaches to building secure, scalable video streaming platforms, including encrypted video delivery that only works within my own web player. I’m also exploring strategies to detect and prevent deepfake or manipulated video uploads — with the goal of building platforms that are both innovative and trustworthy.
