## About

Hi! I'm İsmail Hakkı Aydın, İsmail for short. I'm an Android developer based in Istanbul, part of the team building the BtcTurk Hisse and BtcTurk Kripto apps at BtcTurk Teknoloji. Before that I worked on fintech and e-commerce apps at Mobillium.

Since 2022 we've been building mobile apps and SaaS products at my own company, nicaea Labs. Bitcoin, blockchain and algorithms are topics I keep chasing outside work too.

Away from the screen I explore new cities, take photos and collect postcards and stamps. I keep moving with running, the gym, cycling, hiking and snowboarding; I brew coffee, cook now and then, and open a good book.

## Experience & education

- Mobile Software Development Specialist — BtcTurk Teknoloji (Sep 2023 — Present, İstanbul)
  - BtcTurk Hisse and BtcTurk Kripto: two investment apps for trading stocks and crypto and following prices and markets. I worked on them at Mobillium too; now, in BtcTurk's own team, we build their Android side together, shipping new features and maintaining the apps.
  - Bithero and BtcTurk Kolay Bitcoin: two apps that aimed to bring crypto trading to different users with a simpler experience. I worked on their Android development with the team; neither is live today.
- Founder — nicaea Labs. <https://nicaealabs.com> (May 2022 — Present, My own company)
  - We build Android and iOS apps, websites and admin panels end to end, together with the APIs behind them, from idea to release.
  - We design, launch and maintain subscription-based SaaS products, and turn startup ideas into testable MVPs within a few weeks.
  - We provide mobile architecture, code review and software consulting to companies.
- Android Developer — Mobillium (Aug 2020 — Sep 2023, İstanbul)
  - BtcTurk Hisse and BtcTurk Kripto: two investment apps for trading stocks and crypto and following prices and markets. I was part of the team building their Android side.
  - Migros Sanal Market: an online grocery app for picking products, ordering and getting them delivered home. I contributed to its development with the Android team.
- Summer School Intern — Microsoft Turkey (Aug 2016 · 1 month, Istanbul · Summer school internship)
  - I was one of the students selected for a month-long summer school at the Microsoft Turkey office, trained on Microsoft technologies and software development processes, and reinforced it in workshops by building small sample apps.
  - Seminars by industry speakers and in-house events gave me a close look at corporate work culture; in teams with other interns we took projects from idea to final presentation.
- Computer Engineering — Kütahya Dumlupınar University (2013 — 2017, Kütahya · B.Sc.)
  - We built IoT projects with Arduino, Raspberry Pi and ESP8266: home automation, temperature and humidity monitoring and smart irrigation, plus devices managed from mobile apps over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, such as remote-controlled plugs, lighting and a robot car driven from Android.
  - We built RFID card-based staff tracking, door access and attendance systems.
