Welcome

Hey I'm Hakan Güzelgülgen, a Full-Stack Software Developer with over 7 years of experience.

I’ve been meaning to start a blog for a long time. Mostly because I wanted a place to write things down—things I’ve learned the hard way, mistakes I’ve made, and small details that don’t always show up in tutorials but matter a lot in real projects.

This blog is exactly that place.

What You’ll Find Here

I don’t plan on writing overly academic or “perfect” articles. Instead, I’ll focus on practical, real-world topics like:

• working with React and structuring components in a way that doesn’t fall apart over time,

• using Next.js properly (rendering, routing, performance, SEO),

• writing safer and cleaner code with TypeScript,

• improving performance and accessibility without overengineering,

• and sharing opinions on tools and workflows I actually use.

Sometimes I’ll write short notes. Sometimes longer guides. And sometimes just thoughts from daily development work.

My Day-to-Day Stack

Most of my time these days is spent working with:

• React for UI development,

• Next.js for full-stack web applications,

• TypeScript to keep things predictable and maintainable.

Lately, I’ve also been exploring Flutter. I’m still learning, but if I come across something interesting or useful, I’ll probably write about that too.

About This Website

This site is both my portfolio and my playground.

I use it to experiment with ideas, test patterns, and apply best practices around performance and SEO. It’s also where I showcase selected projects and keep everything I build in one place.

If you’re curious, feel free to check out the projects or other blog posts as they come in.
