Hello World! I'm Atakan 👋

Senior Frontend Developer | AI-powered Interfaces | SaaS & Product Enthusiast

About Me

I am Atakan Karacali, a Senior Frontend Developer based in Riga, Latvia. I am passionate about crafting fast, scalable, and AI-powered web applications. Currently, I am part of the BonApp Group team, where I focus on building performant and user-centric SaaS platforms.

My expertise lies in React.js, TypeScript, Next.js, Python, and modern frontend architectures. I love optimizing user experience, developing AI-integrated products, and designing clean, modular codebases.

Alongside my professional work, I am pursuing a Masters degree in Business Informatics at Riga Technical University, where I am exploring the intersection of technology, AI, and business.

Beyond code, I love blending creativity with technology. Whether it is optimizing micro-interactions for users or integrating AI into everyday tools, I find joy in making digital products not just usable but delightful.
