About Me
Hello, I'm Elif! 👋
After starting my journey in the tech world as a cybersecurity analyst, I pivoted to frontend development. I love technology, design, and writing clean code. I mainly work with the React, TypeScript, and Next.js ecosystem to develop large-scale, user-centric web applications.
On my blog, you can find the notes I take while learning, my technical experiences, and the projects I work on. Welcome! 🤩
