I graduated from the Computer Engineering Department of Middle East Technical University (METU) in 1999, and my acquaintance with Java dates back to 1998. I have been actively working with Java technologies for over 20 years. During this time, I have accumulated extensive knowledge and experience, which I share with participants in areas where I am truly an expert—setting myself apart from other educational institutions and trainers in the industry. My goal is to deliver distilled insights from my long-standing experience in ways that can provide tangible benefits to participants’ projects.
I have been working with technologies like the Spring Framework, Spring (Acegi) Security Framework, and Hibernate Persistence Framework since their early versions. I have developed numerous solutions with these frameworks and have shared my experiences and solutions on various platforms. My areas of interest for many years include object-oriented programming, design patterns, aspect-oriented programming (AOP), enterprise web applications, and security topics.
Throughout my career, I have been involved in almost every phase of projects developed with enterprise Java technologies. Currently, I am working as a Software Architect at Udemy. I hold certifications such as Java Programmer, Web Component Developer, Business Component Developer, and Vaadin UI Framework Developer.
I am one of the authors of the book Beginning Spring, published by Wiley Publishing in 2015. Writing and speaking engagements have allowed me to share my experiences with software developers across different organizations and seminars for years, which I thoroughly enjoy.
