About

Hey, I’m Caner 👋

I’m a Senior Software Engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area with over 10 years of experience building software that scales. Currently at TriNet, where I work on the distributed time-off accrual engine powering thousands of companies and nearly a million employees.

My background spans the full stack — from backend systems with Python/Django and Java/Spring Boot, to frontend with React and TypeScript — but my real passion is distributed systems, event-driven architecture, and making complex infrastructure simple to operate.

I’m also genuinely excited about AI and automation. I’ve built AI-driven platforms using LangChain and LangGraph, and I use AI-assisted workflows daily in my engineering practice.

On the side, I build open source tools and run side projects. You’ll find some of them in the Projects section here.

When I’m not engineering, I produce music. Probably not what you expected, but there it is.
