Hi, I'm Alaz Kalelioglu
I’m a software engineer who enjoys turning ideas into clean, usable products. I specialize in Full-Stack development with React, TypeScript, and Python, but I have expanded my focus to Data Analytics and Quality Assurance.
I care about clarity, structure, and the end-to-end user experience. Whether I’m building UI components, refining API logic, or evaluating LLMs for a project like TaskFlow, my goal is always the same: ship something that feels intuitive and reliable. For TaskFlow, I engineered a comparative framework to ensure the tool delivered real value beyond simple integration.
I’m currently open to roles in Software Engineering, Data Analytics, or QA where I can contribute across the stack and apply a developer's mindset to data pipelines and testing frameworks.
