Gökay Gültekin

Front-end Web Developer

Who are you, really?

Hello, I'm Gökay. I develop modern websites using Next.js (and sometimes with Svelte). Programming is my art and I will use anything to solve the problem, mainly JavaScript, Go and Common Lisp.

I had interest on programming since age 14. I was busy making mods for my favorite video games. My highschool was focused on web development, where I learned basic C programming, C# and web design. For university, I first attended and completed education in Ankara University. I studied Japanese Language and Literature, which was totally a blast for my hungry mind. While I was attending that, I also studied Health Information Systems in Başkent University, where I learned more about programming, Go language (thanks to my final project) and Android app development (and had my first chance to use an oscilloscope). I finished this vocational training as first of my class. Right now I'm studying International Relations in Anadolu University remotely.

Experiments and explorations

Experimental social media. I started this project to learn Svelte with practice. I used Supabase for database and auth management. I has very little userbase, entirely formed by my friends. Content is not managed so be advised.

Soleil

STATUS: ON HOLD

A simple website where I keep track of TV series I watched.

Atay

STATUS: ON HOLD

Similar to Soleil, but focused on books I read.

Nitoji

Turkish-Japanese Dictionary. I was planning to make a digital, easily usable dictionary for Japanese since my first year in university. There were many dictionary websites and apps for English-Japanese but none for my mother languge. Also my professors always pointed to shortcomings and inaccurate information on these dictionaries so as someone with necessary skills and knowledge I thought that I could do something better.

Online Medicine Tracking System. This is actually remake of my final project in Başkent University. Me and a classmate of mine tried to make a web-based application where people would sign-up and add all the medicines they take regularly and give them alerts for expired drugs and when to take them. This, in turn, would create a massive online medicine catalog where everyone could use. For the first version (which we delivered to our teacher) we used Go and SQLite. User interface was simple server-side HTML5 + CSS. We used Bootstrap 5 and unDraw illustrations to make it look good.
