Gençay Kürşad Altıparmak Software Architect 16+ years of experience

I have been developing enterprise software for 16 years. My journey, which began with freelancing, has spanned ERP, point-of-sale and slaughterhouse automation, mobile applications, a car rental platform and e-Transformation products. Today I head the software development and technical support teams at Nilvera.

Along the way I have worked with C# and the .NET ecosystem, built product architectures from scratch, migrated legacy systems to a modern .NET stack and given teams technical direction. My main areas of work: product architecture design and technical debt management; migrating legacy systems to a modern .NET stack (Database First to Code First, .NET Framework to .NET 5 and .NET 8); leading and mentoring teams with agile methodologies; complex database design and optimizing API integration processes.

I am pursuing a master's degree in computer engineering at Erciyes University. My thesis topic: Object Size Estimation Using Hybrid Deep Learning Techniques.
