Fatih Burak İlk
Tech Lead — Full-Stack Development & Platform Engineering
I've been building software with a full-stack mindset for 9+ years. My focus is mainly on modernizing large-scale e-commerce platforms with React, TypeScript, and Server-Side Rendering, while my experience with PHP/Laravel, .NET, and Kubernetes gives me a solid grasp of the backend and platform layers as well — Core Web Vitals, accessibility, and scalable architecture are always top of mind.
About Me
What I focus on
I'm Fatih Burak İlk, a Tech Lead working with a full-stack mindset on high-traffic e-commerce platforms. While my main strength is frontend architecture, my experience with PHP/Laravel, .NET, and Kubernetes lets me design systems with a real understanding of the backend and platform layers too. After 6+ years at Hepsiburada, I'm now leading PttAVM's replatforming with React/TypeScript and Server-Side Rendering — focused on performance, SEO, and scalability.
