I am Baris Akkurt. I specialize in back-end development with C# and .NET framework. You can read more about my work on my LinkedIn profile. Also, my Github profile has a few toy projects that I worked on in the past.

I have 13+ years of professional experience at medium and large companies in 3 different countries: Turkey, Germany and Belgium. Things I do at work:

  • Designing a solution for a problem
  • Solving problems by writing code
  • Debugging, performance analysis, memory analysis, maintenance of the code base
  • Writing tests (unit testing, integration testing, property testing)
  • Writing and reviewing documentation
  • Reviewing code
  • Collaboration with the teammates and colleagues

Here are the list of tools I have used during my career (and I still keep using some of them on a daily basis):

  • Programming languages: C#, Python
  • Libraries and Frameworks: .NET Framework, ASP.NET, Blazor, gRPC, Django
  • Testing: NUnit, FsCheck
  • IDEs: Visual Studio, PyCharm
  • Editors: Visual Studio Code, Notepad++
  • Databases: Sqlite, MS SQL Server
  • Version Control: Git, TFS, SVN
  • Profiler: dotTrace, dotMemory
  • Issue tracking: Jira
  • Wiki: Confluence, Mediawiki
  • Other: Github, Gitlab, Jenkins, Postman, Crucible, Markdown, HTML

I have explored mobile development through personal projects using Swift, Xcode for iOS and Java, Android SDK and Android Studio for Android. However, those projects I developed were small and toy projects and some are available in my github account. Furthermore, I used C and C++ while pursing my computer engineering degree and I occasionally wrote some C++/CLI code in a previous role.
