01. About Me

A developer who sweats the details.

I’m Zain — a fullstack developer based in Ankara, Turkey. I build software end to end, from database schemas and APIs to the pixels users actually touch.

Day to day I work across the stack with Next.js, React, and TypeScript on the frontend, and Python, FastAPI, and Node on the backend. Lately I’ve been training and fine-tuning ML and AI models for real problems — a wildfire-risk model trained on Google Earth Engine data, and a math assistant fine-tuned from Qwen.

What drives me is the craft: clean, accessible interfaces, code that’s a pleasure to maintain, and products that feel fast and considered. I care about the details most people never notice — because they’re what separate good from great.
