Mert Sönmez.

Full-stack engineerany language, any stack. I ship product from database row to pixel.

A decade of building web, mobile, backend and infra — for early-stage startups, agencies, and companies that need a senior pair of hands that covers the whole stack without the handoff tax.

How I work. Short contracts, shipped code, no surprises.

STEP · 01

Scope

A 30-min call, a short doc. We agree on what's in, what's out, and what success looks like before any code is written.

typically 1–2 days
STEP · 02

Prototype

End-to-end working slice by week one. Not a mockup — real data, real backend, deployable. We course-correct early.

week 1
STEP · 03

Build

Weekly demos, small PRs, trunk-based. Tests for the bits that matter. You see progress every Monday.

weeks 2 → n
STEP · 04

Handoff

Docs, runbook, onboarding for your team, and 30 days of bug-support included. No lock-in, no black box.
