Necmettin Karakaya
Tech Lead Full-Stack Software Engineer
Dedicated to building a faster web and mentoring others in web development, scaling, and freelance work. My journey began with hacking MMORPGs and transitioned into creating websites while studying architecture in China. After dropping out of college and gaining experience at a Chinese startup, I discovered my passion for freelancing during a trip to the Philippines. Today, I'm an Expert-vetted freelancer on Upwork, proudly belonging to the top 0.1% of talent. When I'm not immersed in tech, I enjoy exploring new cultures, indulging in outdoor adventures, and experimenting with photography. I have spent a lot of hours working with startups of various sizes, and I know what it takes to build a product from 0 to 1, and from 1 to 100.
