Senior🎓
Top SchoolUmut Karasar is a software engineer based in Amsterdam with eight years of experience building back-end APIs and integrations for SaaS and enterprise applications. He has a strong foundation in OOP, MVC and SOLID principles and practical experience across PHP/Laravel, Docker, CI/CD (Jenkins, Bamboo), Redis caching, and relational databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL and Oracle. His work spans HR SaaS, location-based asset tracking, and marketing platforms, often involving maps APIs (Google Maps, ArcGIS) and performance-driven code quality improvements and testing.

Colleagues rely on him for code reviews, test coverage and pragmatic optimizations that reduce operational friction in production.
