Based in Türkiye — open to interesting problems

Kerim Bal

Software Engineer

I build backend systems: services that stay correct under load, integrate cleanly, and survive the second year of a codebase. Mostly .NET, message-driven architectures, and the unglamorous infrastructure that keeps products running.

01 About

I write software professionally, mostly on the server side. The part I enjoy is the unglamorous one: modelling a domain properly, drawing boundaries between services, making failure paths explicit, and leaving behind a codebase the next person can reason about.

I prefer small sharp libraries over large frameworks, message-driven integration over chatty coupling, and tests that describe behaviour rather than implementation.

This site is deliberately small — no trackers, no cookies, no analytics. Its source is on GitHub and it redeploys itself whenever main moves.

02 Stack

The tools I reach for most often. A preference, not a religion.

03 Work & Open Source

A few things built in the open. My own products will land here as they ship.
