Bottomless — Software Engineer
Remote · Jun 2026 – PresentNext.js, React Native, TypeScript
- Shipped end-to-end features for a production AI platform using Next.js and React Native, spanning web, mobile, APIs, persistence, and production rollout.
- Designed evaluation workflows for LLM routing and multi-agent coding harnesses, using controlled production-like runs and event-level telemetry to isolate model, orchestration, infrastructure, and measurement failures.
- Improved LLM routing and streaming reliability by parallelizing classification, eliminating redundant data loading, bounding model context, and strengthening failure handling under concurrent workloads.

How I Work
I use coding agents to move faster, but I still own the work. I set the scope and architecture, review every diff, and verify the result with tests and telemetry before it ships. My workflow keeps changing as better tools appear; I test them on real work and keep the ones that earn a place.
Projects
Built and shipped a production web app for benchmarking and training visual speed through six interactive exercises, with server-authoritative scoring, adaptive workouts, accounts, and subscriptions.

Built an end-to-end multiplayer game where players compete against trained models to estimate prices from real Turkish property listings, including scraped data, live lobbies, and instant scoring.

Built a scanner that scores how well coding agents can work with an OpenAPI spec, returning a 0-100 rating and a ranked, fix-by-fix report across six categories.

Built a prompt evaluation platform for versioning prompts, running curated test cases, scoring outputs with weighted rubrics, and comparing revisions over time.

Built a personal permalink control plane with immutable routes, revision history, privacy-minimized analytics, validated imports, and authenticated management.

Built and operated a production community platform that handled 2,000+ visitors in three days and 200+ concurrent users during a live event across registrations, interactive experiences, and admin workflows.

Education
