Hi, I'm Doğa Budak.

I'm a Munich-based Full Stack Software Engineer with over a decade of experience across startups and scaleups. Currently, I work at ParcelLab building tools that power seamless post-purchase customer experiences.

I love shipping meaningful software, working on side projects like games and analytics platforms, and exploring how code, design, and human behavior intersect. When I’m not coding, you’ll find me biking, parenting, or planning my next adventure.
