Hey 👋😄 I'm Furkan Karayel! A Fullstack Developer who loves to solve problems based on web technologies.

About Here you will find more information about me, what I do, and list of my current skills in programming

My Story

I began my journey as a developer in late 2016, with Java serving as my first programming language. Notably, the first tool I have developed in Java resulted in significant improvements to the process of deploying updates to customer servers by semi-automating the process which reduced the needed time by 80%. :) My hands-on developer acumen was greatly enhanced by working collaboratively within an agile Scrum framework, closely aligned with customer requirements. In addition, I contributed to second- and third-level support efforts, quickly resolving critical customer issues while enhancing and customizing existing software modules and interfaces. After three years of invaluable experience, I made the strategic decision to gain a deeper understanding of the software engineering landscape by pursuing a formal degree in Computer Science in Germany. At the same time, I seized the opportunity to cultivate my skills in full-stack web development and successfully managed my first project for inventory management within my company. Since then, my passion for Fullstack software development has flourished, driving me to continually expand my expertise and stay abreast of emerging trends and technologies in the field.

ChessSearchAPI

ChessSearchAPI

This project is a Golang-powered API designed to efficiently query large chess game databases stored in PGN (Portable Game Notation) format. By integrating with powerful chess tools like Scoutfish and Pgn-extract, the API provides a flexible and performant interface for querying games based on various criteria, such as player names, board positions (FEN), or game year. The API is optimized for scalability and precision, making it suitable for chess data analysis, historical research, and other chess-related applications. Development is ongoing, with continuous improvements to extend functionality and performance.
