I turn vision into code.
Muhammed AliKocabey.
I build native Android for banking. I wrote the NFC identity-verification Android SDK that replaced a bought-in vendor from scratch; it's been live since February.

Code is only as good as the responsibility behind it.
- I work where mistakes aren't an option.
- I own the work end to end.
- I leave it better than yesterday, every day.
I have been building Android for five years since graduating, the last three in banking. But I have not boxed myself into one field: I built my own product (ScoreUpp) from scratch, worked with data science, published open source, and produce content. Wherever I work, I am after the same thing: durable software that is easy to maintain.
Away from the screen
Away from code I box and lift. I am at the gym most days of the week; for me it is not a break, it is a fixed part of the day.
Scale and impact

I replaced a bought-in vendor with my own code.
I wrote Akbank Mobile's NFC eID verification Android SDK from scratch: chip reading, identity match, verification. Live since February, across tens of millions of customers.

Two builds, two different scales
I share what I learn, and I think in products.
I record a podcast on Android architecture and produce open source and writing. Because I built and shipped my own product (ScoreUpp) from zero, I can also read code from a product and user angle.
