Emre Yılmaz
Full-stack architect & consultant. Shipping software since 2005.
I help founders and engineering teams design, audit and ship software that stays maintainable. Typed functional backends in Haskell, production services in Python, PHP and Node.js, reproducible infrastructure with Nix, and decentralized systems on Nostr and Lightning.
