Hi, I'm Umut 👋
Software developer building products, not just projects. Right now I'm focused on Celixion, an AI-powered platform for dry cargo shipping brokerage, and figuring out how to make it work in the real world.

About

At the end of 2025 I stepped away from contract work and university projects to focus fully on building my own product. I studied computer programming in Ä°zmir, worked as a freelance full-stack developer, and picked up experience across web, AI, and maritime logistics along the way. Now I'm building Celixion with React, Next.js, Node.js, Supabase, and modern AI tooling to ship fast, practical solutions for maritime brokers.

Celixion

July 2025 - Active...
Software Developer & Founder
I work on Celixion, a system that turns messy maritime brokerage emails into structured, queryable data. I build the parsing pipelines and AI-supported classification prompts, maintain the Supabase backend, and develop the internal dashboards brokers use to see ships, cargos, and match suggestions in real time. The aim is replacing manual brokerage routines with an automated matching system.

Aug 2025 - Oct 2025
Software Developer
I build the core SaaS platform that lets small businesses generate and manage their websites through an AI-assisted builder — the React/Next.js frontend, the Node.js/Supabase backend, and the AI layer that turns prompts into themes, content, and layouts. I own the component architecture, auth, and database modeling, and keep the system fast and stable in production. The goal: a website generator anyone can use, no technical knowledge required.

SAP - ABAP Internship
I developed and maintained backend modules in the SAP ERP environment — small ABAP reports, function modules, and updates to existing code for performance and accuracy. I worked with tables, data dictionary objects, and ALV reports, and supported debugging on live client issues. This is where I learned how enterprise systems actually run in production.

I like building things

During my time in university, I attended 4+ hackathons. People from around the country would come together and build incredible things in 2-3 days. It was eye-opening to see the endless possibilities brought to life by a group of motivated and passionate individuals.
