01 Why me

Ten years writing code. For half of them, also leading the people who write it.

My real difference sits in one place: taking an idea and turning it into something that can actually be built. Knowing what gets done in what order, how long it takes and what it risks is something that settles in over ten years and several hundred requests.

Built Turkey’s largest online spare-parts platform from scratch

otoparcasan.com went live after a nine-month build. I then took over as e-commerce manager, responsible for the warehouse, accounting, customer support and product teams.

Ran software, design and IT together

As head of software development at Jengal Software I took on two teams and two high-traffic products, reporting directly to the CEO and COO.

Founded and run an e-commerce brand of my own

At Lofux I built everything myself, from the product system to the accounting integrations, operations planning and the print workflow. I build and run the same kind of system I am proposing to you, with my own resources.

The planning side runs on method too

I am a certified Scrum Master, and I handle prioritisation and delivery rhythm with the same rigour as the technical work. I am continuing my master’s in entrepreneurship and innovation, currently studying management and industrial decision-making in Porto. It is why a forty-hour portal actually takes forty hours.

02 Track record

Ten years, briefly

I met algorithms at vocational high school and realised I had a natural aptitude for it. I studied computer programming at Ondokuz Mayıs University and started working the moment I graduated. It is the only thing I have done since.

    Software developer

    A large e-commerce platform serving fifteen thousand concurrent visitors on a master-slave database. This is where I learned how caching really works and how a database should not be designed. I wrote myself a panel for repetitive fixes and ended up owning all bug-fixing and development on the site.

Privacy notice

Last updated: 24 September 2026

This site carries no advertising trackers, behavioural profiling or third-party marketing cookies. Personal data is processed only when you fill in the contact form, and only so that I can reply to you. Google Analytics, used for visit statistics, runs only if you accept it.

Who is responsible

Uğur Yetkil is the controller for the personal data processed on this site. The business operates from Türkiye; you can reach the controller through any of the contact channels on this site.

What is collected

Only what you type into the contact form: your name, company, email address, phone number if you give one, the tier you are interested in, and your message.

There is no sign-in, membership or payment on this site, so nothing else is collected.

Why it is processed

The sole purpose is to reply to your enquiry and run the conversation that follows. This data is not added to a marketing list, not used for newsletters and never sold to third parties.

Legal basis

Processing rests on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, as steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, and on Article 6(1)(f) as a legitimate interest. For enquiries from Turkey, Article 5/2-f of the KVKK applies.

Who it is shared with

Form submissions are delivered through an email service and a messaging service used for notification. These providers are used solely to deliver the message; your data is not shared for advertising.

Cloudflare Turnstile is used for bot protection. Turnstile does not build a profile that identifies you.

If you accept measurement, visit data is passed to Google through Google Analytics. If you decline, that transfer never happens.

How long it is kept

If your enquiry does not lead anywhere, the record is kept for at most twelve months and then deleted. If we begin working together, the data is kept for the duration of the contract and any statutory retention period that applies.

Cookies and visit measurement

Visit counts are measured with Cloudflare Web Analytics. That counter uses no cookies, writes nothing to your browser and does not identify you, so it runs without asking for consent.

Google Analytics 4 is also used. Because Google Analytics sets cookies, it loads only if you accept it. Until you do, the script is never added to the page; declining takes no action on your part, as that is already the default state.

If you accept, the pages you visit, the link that brought you here, your approximate location and your device and browser details are sent to Google. Your name, your email address and anything you type into the form never enter this measurement. Google may also process this data on servers outside the European Union.

You can change your choice at any time: the “Measurement preference” link at the foot of the page reopens the consent strip. When you decline, measurement stops and the cookies Google Analytics left behind are deleted from your browser.

Apart from that, your browser may store a functional value such as your language preference; it does not identify you.

Your rights

Under the GDPR and the KVKK you may ask what data is held about you, request correction or erasure, object to processing, and ask for your data to be transferred.

To exercise any of these, write to the email address on this site; your request is answered within thirty days at the latest.

Data inside client projects

Delivering the service may require technical access to data held in a client’s systems. The confidentiality clause in my standard service agreement applies, and I will also sign the GDPR or KVKK data-processing agreement your company uses.
