Senior Frontend Engineer crafting smart, scalable & human-friendly interfaces.

About Me

Hi, I am Atakan Karacali, a Senior Frontend Developer based in Riga, Latvia. I specialize in building fast, scalable, and user-friendly web applications with a focus on performance and clean architecture.

I work at BonApp Group, where I help develop modern SaaS platforms using React.js, TypeScript, and Python. I enjoy designing modular UI systems and integrating AI to create smarter, more delightful experiences.

I am also pursuing a Masters degree in Business Informatics at Riga Technical University, exploring how technology and business align through data and intelligent design.

Outside of work, I love blending creativity with code, from refining tiny interactions to building playful tools powered by AI.
