Hello,
My name is İhsan Deniz, but I prefer to be called Deniz. I was born in Istanbul in 1996 and still reside here. I graduated from Çukurova University with a degree in Computer Engineering in 2021. I have been actively involved in software development since 2018, and in 2020, I began focusing on the systems side as well.
Computers are both my profession and my hobby. This is one of the reasons I created this website. I wanted to share with others what I do outside of my 9-to-5 job. My current job requires me to combine multiple disciplines, including software,frameworks, networking, databases, operating systems, virtual machines, and more.
I can say that my software skills are stronger since I started my career as a software developer. However, my experience as a Systems and Application Performance Engineer at VakıfBank since 2021 has significantly enhanced my knowledge of the systems side. I had already gained a certain level of expertise in automation, CI/CD, and cloud processes through my personal interest in 2020, which I continued to develop at the bank.
In terms of software development, I have experience with ASP.NET, .NET Core, and Node.JS, with a focus on .NET Core. I started my career at Novartz Bilisim writing WebForms and continued with .NET Core WebApi and Blazor. At Novartz, I was responsible for writing screens for companies to manage their ERP processes. Later, I worked on the “OccoCar” project, now known as Peliel Software, using React. I was involved in the initial creation of this project and the development of the backend and DB architecture. In parallel, I was involved in the development of an e-commerce management platform developed with Laravel and an e-commerce website developed with Next.JS.
After Peliel, I returned to Novartz Bilisim to develop a web platform for tracking vehicle tracking devices and their data on a map for a local distribution company in Adana. In parallel, I was providing support to the after-sales services team of Doğuş Otomotiv’s service software as an outsource to Doğuş Teknoloji.
Upon graduation, I returned to Istanbul and joined the “Application Services” team at VakıfBank. Here, I began specializing in application performance management, network performance management, memory dumps, and TCP dumps. I also continued my software development path, focusing on Angular and .NET Core.
As a hobby, I have a small cluster of virtual servers. In fact, this website is currently running on one of those servers. From time to time, when an idea strikes me, I create a new VM and network and start experimenting immediately. I also try to write these up and share them on Medium.
My hobbies outside of computers include cycling and tennis. Cycling was my primary mode of transportation during my studies in Adana. Now, I ride with my wife on weekends or evenings. I also tried to play the electric guitar for a while. I still strum it occasionally 🙂
