Hi, I'm Usame Coban — a senior full-stack engineer based in Turkey with a deep passion for building scalable web applications, designing thoughtful user experiences, and solving real-world problems through code.
Over the last few years, I've taken on both technical and leadership roles: from working with startups to founding and building my own product, Roadith, from the ground up. My background bridges hands-on engineering with architectural planning — whether it's designing a custom authentication system, implementing cloud-native infrastructure, or building a frontend design system that respects accessibility and responsiveness.
I care deeply about code quality, performance optimization, and developer experience. I enjoy crafting reusable components, automating deployment workflows, and constantly learning emerging patterns in modern JavaScript ecosystems.
Specializing in React, Next.js, Node.js, and scalable backend systems using MongoDB, Redis, and Elasticsearch.
Designing modular, maintainable systems with a focus on performance, security, and observability.
Integrating Google Material Design with Tailwind CSS to create consistent and beautiful interfaces.
Experienced with CI/CD pipelines, Docker, Kubernetes, GCP, and AWS.
Specialized in performance analysis, caching strategies, database optimization, and implementing efficient algorithms to deliver lightning-fast user experiences.
Expert in building robust web scraping solutions using Puppeteer, Playwright, and custom automation tools to extract and process data from various sources efficiently.
I prefer building core systems in-house when possible to reduce overhead and improve long-term flexibility.
Every decision, from caching to image processing, is considered for its impact on speed and scalability.
I take full responsibility for my work, from concept to deployment, and value well-documented, tested, and observable systems.
I've mentored junior engineers and interns, helping them grow into confident contributors by encouraging clarity, accountability, and curiosity.
I'm currently focused on growing Roadith, a platform that blends travel planning and social media into one cohesive experience. The goal is to help travelers go beyond planning — to inspire, document, and explore real journeys from real people.
I'm always interested in discussing new opportunities, sharing knowledge, or just having a great conversation about technology and innovation.
