Hi. I'm Emre "@memrearal" ARAL 🤟

Short Bio & Career

I'm a passionate developer with more than 15+ years of experience in a variety of domains. For the past 15 years, I've experience on AIs, Blockchain Systems, Distributed Platforms, Mobile Applications, Highloaded Servers (E-Commerce, News, Finance...), Network Management.

I started my professional life as an intern during university, and for a while I actively participated in many projects as a freelancer. After a while, I continued my career as a full-stack developer, and I am currently actively working in CTO & CEO positions.

Experience

  • Backend Systems
    I have developed projects under heavy load (minimum 500+ database queries/sec OR 250k+ users per day), primarily using JavaScript/TypeScript, but also incorporating languages ​​like PHP, Java, Python, and Go. These projects were for financial systems (traditional and blockchain), e-commerce systems, news systems, social media agency systems, enterprise systems, and SaaS systems.
  • Database Systems
    I have created projects using database systems such as Azure, Firebase, SQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, NeDB, PostgreSQL, MsSQL, SQLite, and others, as well as on database architectures with or without ORMs like Sequelize, Prisma, TypeORM, Mongoose, Drizzle, and Knex. I have at least 50+ projects and 10+ years of experience working with relational databases, and at least 10+ projects and 5+ years of experience working with non-relational databases. Beyond these types of databases, I have also worked countless times with file-based databases.
  • Cloud & Network Systems
    As an AWS certified developer, I have expertise in cloud and architecture with AWS, NetLify, Vercel, Heroku, and Plesk; in virtualization technologies with Docker and Proxmox; and in Enterprise & Community operating systems, particularly Linux, with network-level RJ45 and RS-232/DB9 hardware standards using Serial Consoles and tools and platforms such as SolarWinds, Datadog, MaxMind, Wireshark, Mitmproxy, Burp Suite, and Charles Proxy.
  • Frontend Systems
    I develop user interfaces using tools/styles such as React, Angular, Alpine.js, and Ember.js, as well as Tailwind, Bootstrap, Semantic, and Babel. For server-based UI/media components, I utilize JIMP, FFMpeg, Sharp, FFProbe, and Canvas, and further develop my interface systems using tools like Chart.js, Plotly, Recharts, and lightweight-charts.
  • Mobile Application & Desktop Development
    I develop both mobile and desktop applications, frequently choosing hybrid architectures and rarely native architectures, leveraging the advantages of systems and languages ​​such as Kotlin and Swift, React Native and Expo, Flutter, Electron, C# (.NET/WPF), PyQt, Tkinter, C++, and Rust.
  • Big Data, AI
    I develop Big Data projects and solutions, particularly for scalable pipelines, using Hadoop, Apache Spark, Hive, and Kafka. In the AI ​​field, I primarily use TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Scikit-learn on Python. For interpretation and visualization, I create solutions using Grafana, Datadog, Apache Superset, and Tableau.
  • Cyber Security
    I was in the top 3% in the world, probably around 8% now.
  • Others
    C, C++, C#, Java, Ruby, Perl, Markdown + V2.
    That rock 'n'roll, eh? That rock'n'roll, it just won't go away. It might hibernate from time to time, and sink back into the swamp. I think the cyclical nature of the universe in which it exists demands it adheres to some of its rules. But it's always waiting there, just around the corner. Ready to make its way back through the sludge and smash through the glass ceiling, looking better than ever. Yeah, that rock'n'roll, it seems like it's faded away sometimes, but it will never die. And there's nothing you can do about it. Listen it.

Have a project in mind? Let's Connect!

I'm excited to connect with others via email to chat about projects and ideas. Currently, I'm not taking little projects, but I am open to hearing about potential opportunities, discussing them with you and then potentially collaborating if it's a good fit.
