Systems Architect · Software Consultant
I'm Fahrettin Baştürk. I build fast, reliable and long-lasting software with Rust, C++ and modern web technologies. I see software not merely as a technical craft, but as a human discipline shaped by psychology and philosophy.
“The wind is rising… We must try to live.”
01Selected work
From a commercial B2B platform to a Rust library published on crates.io, from a custom network protocol to a reverse-engineering pipeline — a few examples.
01Web & Full Stack
A high-performance, multilingual corporate platform developed for a Canadian B2B industrial sourcing firm. Engineered with Next.js and optimized with Tailwind CSS v4, featuring a secure PHP-based communication bridge.
A zero-boilerplate OpenAPI 3.0.0 generator and custom Swagger UI engine for Actix-Web, distributed as a native Cargo crate and powered by compile-time procedural macros.
03Networking & Protocols
A secure, decentralized operating system and network layer built on Wired — a custom, high-performance communication protocol. Instead of HTTP, it uses a mutually encrypted TCP handshake and AES-encrypted WebSocket payloads for strong data confidentiality.
A lightweight, cross-platform Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) built with Tauri and SvelteKit. Features multi-track mixing, real-time waveform rendering, precise region cutting/trimming via FFmpeg, and a heavily optimized Web Audio API playback engine backed by an asynchronous Rust backend.
A multi-threaded, GUI-driven Android reverse engineering pipeline. It automates APK extraction, deep Flutter engine analysis, static vulnerability scanning, and Ghidra workspace initialization.
06Mobile Applications
A gamified, co-learning mobile application designed for early childhood education. It combines highly animated biological taxonomy modules (habitats, diets, acoustics) with a secure, telemetry-driven parent dashboard for granular progress tracking.
02Areas of Expertise
I choose tools by workload, not by trend. These are the areas I work in most, and the technologies I rely on in each:
Systems Programming
Working as close to the hardware as the operating system allows. When latency is critical, I set aside high-level abstractions, manage memory myself and talk directly to the hardware.
Network Architecture
Scalable, high-throughput network architectures designed to move data fast. I build backend systems that strike the right balance between performance, security and the realities of modern SEO.
Client Development
Hardware-accelerated desktop and mobile clients with deep OS integration. I design architectures that run heavy background computation without blocking the UI thread.
Data Pipelines
Algorithmic pipelines that parse large datasets, minimize operational overhead and reliably take AI models into production.
Automation
Where official APIs fall short, I build autonomous assistants and scalable bot infrastructure that model human interaction with millisecond precision.
Reverse Engineering
Understanding the black box. I apply static and dynamic analysis to compiled software to audit network protocols, identify vulnerabilities and see how systems really work under the hood.
03How I work
Every engagement follows the same discipline: understand the problem first, design the right architecture, then build it properly.
A short call to clarify goals, constraints and what success looks like. If needed, I review the existing system.
I choose technology by workload and share scope, timeline and budget in a written proposal.
Development with regular milestones — you see a working version at every stage and can steer it.
Delivered with documentation and a release process; ongoing maintenance and technical support when you need it.
04Workshop
IDE / System
My primary environment for C, C++ and C# projects. Its debugging tools and compiler integration are exceptionally strong.
Terminal / Linux
For when the job calls for a minimal interface, no unnecessary overhead and a fully keyboard-driven workflow.
Python / ML
Excellent refactoring capabilities that significantly speed up my machine learning and scripting workflows.
Web / General
My daily editor for versatile web development. Lightweight, customizable and always gets the job done.
05Blog
Notes on systems architecture, low-level languages and the philosophy behind the code.
Approach
I got into software because I wanted to build things that genuinely touch people's lives. I bring more than a technical mindset to the table — the way I think is shaped by psychology, sociology and philosophy.
Philosophy and psychology draw me in because they bring coherence to a chaotic world. Away from the terminal, I read plays and talk with new people to gain different perspectives.
I open-source the tools I build so others can learn from them. Components with a high potential for misuse (such as certain reverse engineering and network tools) are deliberately kept in private repositories.
Let's build together
A new product, a system under pressure, or a need for technical guidance — start with a short message. I usually reply within 2 hours during working hours.
