About me

Hi, I'm Orçun. I'm a software developer with over 25 years of experience, mostly with Java and Spring Boot, Angular and Docker.

This site shows how I build my own platform on a VPS and what I learn along the way. It has no ads and no tracking.

You can find new posts in the Blog or through the RSS feed.

You can find my professional background on LinkedIn. I am happy to send a CV on request.
