I've been building software since 2008. Today I design the microservice and event-driven architecture of high-traffic systems, working across the PHP, Go, Python and JavaScript ecosystems — focused on the problem, not the language.
I write about the reasoning behind technical decisions and lessons from real projects on my development journal at muhammetsafak.com.tr.
- InitPHP — An open-source ecosystem of 39 modular PHP libraries — Router, Database/ORM, Socket, Queue, Container, Logger and more — plus a minimalist MVC framework. PSR-compliant, fully tested, MIT-licensed.
- Parantaj — A personal & business finance management platform (Web, iOS & Android): income/expense tracking, budgeting, multi-account management and detailed reporting.
- SignalLock — A privacy-first menu-bar app (macOS & Windows) that auto-locks your computer when a trusted Bluetooth device leaves range. No network, no cloud, no telemetry.
- sade.dev — A Turkish engineering notebook documenting real production backend & systems decisions — connection pooling, queue strategies, VPS architecture — together with their costs and trade-offs.
Most of what I open-source is built outside of work — because I enjoy it. If something here helps you, a ⭐ is always appreciated.
