Berktan Solmaz
Final year BEng Software Engineering at the University of Westminster, London, graduating in 2027. I build polished products across web, servers and hardware.
I care about the details most people scroll past: type, spacing, motion, and the engineering that keeps them fast.
Based in London, finishing a BEng in Software Engineering at the University of Westminster and graduating in 2027. Alongside it I ship freelance work and game-server automation, with ESP32 hardware projects currently in progress.

The things a hiring team usually has to email to find out.
I graduate in summer 2027 and I am looking for a graduate software engineering role starting after that. I am happy to interview and accept an offer well ahead of the start date, which is how most graduate schemes run anyway.
I hold a valid UK Student Visa and Graduate Route eligibility. Happy to go through the specifics with your hiring or compliance team at any point in the process.
London. I am set up for hybrid or fully on-site work anywhere reachable in the city, and I am comfortable working remotely, having already done so on freelance projects.
TypeScript and React, and Next.js specifically, which is what this site is built with. Python for tooling and automation, and Django from coursework. Comfortable across SQL, REST APIs, Git and GitHub Actions. The case studies are the honest version of this list: they show what I have actually shipped rather than what I have read about.
Somewhere with code review and people who are better than me to learn from. I care about the details that most people scroll past, so a team that takes craft seriously matters more to me than any particular product or domain.
The form on this page, which goes straight to my inbox, or the email address next to it. LinkedIn works too, though it is the slower of the two.
Have a project in mind or just want to chat? I'm always open to new opportunities and interesting conversations.
