Hi there 👋 I'm İsmail Ünal

🚀 Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer | Functional Programming Enthusiast | Micro-SaaS Builder


🧠 About Me

I'm a London-based software engineer with 10+ years of experience building scalable web applications, APIs, and event-driven systems.
My background combines Elixir/Phoenix and .NET Core for high-performance backend architectures, complemented by modern React frontends and data-driven insights.

I’ve worked across large-scale payment systems and real-world analytics pipelines, focusing on system reliability, domain-driven design, and clean, testable codebases.


🔭 What I’m Currently Working On

  • 🧩 Building a micro-SaaS platform with Elixir, Phoenix LiveView, PostgreSQL, and React
  • ⚙️ Architecting event-driven APIs using GraphQL, Pub/Sub, and message queues
  • 💡 Contributing to Elixir School and supporting the open-source Elixir community
  • 🧪 Experimenting with AI-assisted developer tools, Chrome extensions, and gamified mobile apps

🌱 What I’m Exploring

  • Advanced functional programming with Elixir
  • GraphQL Federation and subscription-based architectures
  • Phoenix Contexts, modular DDD-inspired design
  • CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, Docker, and Terraform
