Nur B.

Hi, I'm Nur

a backend developer

where logic lives,

data flows,

and systems breathe.

About

The best code is the one you never have to explain. With a background in Electrical & Electronics Engineering, I think in systems – how each part connects, flows, and sometimes decides to fail spectacularly at 3AM.

Building clean, reliable, and scalable backend solutions isn’t just a job for me; it’s about preventing tomorrow’s headaches today. Java is my main tool, but curiosity is what keeps me pushing beyond what I know, questioning assumptions, and refining every line I write.

To me, backend development is an invisible craft. Users may never see it, but their experience depends entirely on it. I take pride in ensuring it just works – silently, seamlessly, and without excuses.
