Mustafa Yalçın

Hello

About

I’m Mustafa, a front-end developer based in Eskişehir, Türkiye, with five years of building React and Next.js applications.

At PITON Technology I lead front-end refactoring work. On two production platforms, ITS and GIS, that meant new rendering patterns and a shared component library, with measurable gains in load times, bug rates and release stability.

I studied Computer Engineering at Süleyman Demirel University, where I was on the core team of the Google Developer Student Club and led technical workshops. I freelanced for about a year before joining PITON in 2023.

I build interfaces where simplicity and usability come first. I balance screen time with… well, different screen time: books and video games.
