Graph Visualization Typescript Vue.js Neo4j Graph Database Cypher Query Language Git Docker

Member of Hume team

Scientific Research Engineer Mar 2019 - June 2022

i-Vis Research Lab Ankara,Turkey

Graph Visualization JavaScript Typescript HTML CSS Angular Cytoscape.js Neo4j Java Graph Database Cypher Query Language Heroku Git Docker

Working on building highly-customizable, generic, and, modular graph visualization tools.
At the front-end, We work with typescript, javascript, angular, and, cytoscape.js. I use and develop many Cytoscape.js extensions. I spend lots of time with Angular to make a modular and maintainable architecture.
At the backend, I used Neo4j as a graph database. Usually, we directly communicate with Neo4j database using HTTP requests. I write lots of Cypher code for querying Neo4j databases. To implement some custom graph algorithms, I developed Neo4j User-Defined procedures in Java.
It is very unique to work as an engineer in a research lab. It is very satisfying for me to make performance of algorithms or software better. It is very nice to see that academic studies don't just stay on paper. They are implemented and used by big companies in real life because they are helpful, they increase our capabilities. Also, I really like to build aesthetically pleasing user interfaces and a good user experience.

Software Engineer Sep 2017 - Jun 2018

Developed an angularjs real-time chat module using firebase real-time database. Developed basic android and ios apps. Coded API client for Zoom API. Maintain/develop the existing system.
It is hard to start your career as a remote developer because you can't communicate effectively to solve your problems. It is also hard for a new graduate to work in a start-up because there aren't many people you can learn from. Of course, my colleagues helped me but I should say that I do things under my own steam. I utilized stackoverflow and also I started to use it effectively. I could say that I learned to not fear new technologies. I didn't master skills but I experienced variety of things such as MS-SQL databases, NoSql databases, mobile development with Android Studio and Xcode, gulp, azure technologies, etc...
