I live in Istanbul and have worked as a Software Developer for 13 years, primarily using .NET stack and C# as a coding language. Since my early days, I felt I had a vocation for Computer related jobs. It felt natural to pursue a computational path because I had no doubts my career would have been more straightforward by becoming a programmer.
That is why, while attending high school, I joined the computer club, started learning HTML, and then decided to be a computer engineer and work as a software developer. I have always loved Computer-based activities such as games or other related applications, so I studied Computer Engineering. The main drive was Computer Science, which I always found extremely interesting.
Things haven’t always been smooth. Although I was willing to take responsibility and improve my skills, I found it hard to keep track of technological changes to stay current constantly. So, even nowadays, I continue to push myself to keep pace with the times.
I joined Proxify in 2022, while doing job hunting. And thanks to Proxify, I work from home. Remote work has always attracted me and is one of the most valuable points. Flexibility is beneficial for my work approach. And I think most of the job hunting and applying processes are simplified with Proxify.
Initially, I couldn’t correctly envision how I would have felt working remotely, although I had already experienced it during the Pandemic. I thought that in the long term, it wouldn’t have been effective for me. Then eventually, I started comparing it to the old office life. In the end, remote work saved me time and enabled close contact with clients located miles away. I hope to continue working remotely because now I find it much more productive.
I’m working as a .NET developer for a client in the Netherlands. The team is excellent. The product involves a mobile and web application, and it’s lovely because it measures employees’ happiness. We are continuously improving the work according to both employees and my client’s needs to release something innovative and impactful.
Once you start working with a client at Proxify, you can acquire a lot of knowledge in each work engagement, and it's great for your career as a developer. The critical point is to continue and work steadily, not only by doing what is assigned to you during working hours but also by continuing to polish your skills afterward. It's essential to read technical books, learn about new technologies, and keep your passion inspired once your client's tasks are completed.
