ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Volkan. I like to solve interaction and user experience problems and develop new interfaces/web applications with javascript programming. I have 7 years of javascript programming background, from object oriented and vanilla javascript to famous frameworks such as react.js, express, mongo.db and backend programming with node.js. Feel free to view some bitbucket, githubsource codes i developed recently.

I've been working with international and local start-ups and digital agencies for 9 years as front-end developer, ui/ux developer. Depending on the projects i create wireframes and prototypes of the product and iterate this process in order to reach the functional and simple user interface with considering feedbacks, product strategy and personas all the time in the mind. Thus user experience is the main focus of my engineering processes.

In my free time, I ride my bike or dance tango. Feel free tocontact me

PICUS SECURITY WEBSITE

http://www.picussecurity.com/

Picus Security needed a simple and concise web page to give information about company and the product.

Starting with a strategy document with personas, wireframes are produced to illustrate essential sections and call to action buttons are defined to redirect users to various pages.

Furthermore, in the product page current usage statistics are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the app. Website color tones had been chosen to emphasise the reliability of the product. Flat design approach with a responsive grid of 12 columns, is applied in the production of assets via Illustra- tor® or Sketch®. HTML (JADE), CSS (SCSS) and Javascript (jQuery) are used to develop the front-end code.

Sample Wireframe:

PICUS SECURITY VULNERABILITY SCANNER

http://www.picussecurity.com/

Picus Security open source browser app is developed with the Picus team to provide a simple and straightforward user interface for institutions, which represents scanned data of firewalls with real-time updated interactive charts.

A flat design and nearly colorless user interface was introduced in order to point out the security levels of the current hardware. Red colors are used to warn the engineer against cyber threats and green colors are used to indicate the secure parts of the system. User can get detailed information on current scan and also create pdf reports of the security status. Bootstrap frame- work and 12 column grid is used without responsivity, intentionally. Highcharts library was used for interactive charts and Node.js is used for communicating with a back-end Haskell engine.
