About

I'm Burak Altıntaş (Burak Altintas without the Turkish letters), a frontend developer. I build web and mobile apps with React, React Native and Next.js, and I often take them from the backend all the way to the App Store.

Since June 2022 I have worked on the hospitality products of Protel & Simpra. Today that is mainly Resort Manager and Portal UI, and I have delivered PMS, Loyalty, Simphony Ordering Hub and Simphony Manager App. I maintain the UiKit and Widget libraries shared across products. On CheckandPlace, a reservation system serving guests from 156+ countries, I built the AI assistant that makes online booking faster and easier.

I also build my own products end to end. I founded Bankacı, an app for loans, credit cards, deposits and investments with a loan marketplace, on iOS, Android and the web. I run it myself: product, design, the mobile app, the Go backend and the Google Cloud infrastructure. I co-founded Coffee Dictionary, a coffee glossary on iOS, Android and the web, and I run its whole technical side.

Casamiyo, a building and apartment management app I built with a business partner, is live on the web, and its iOS and Android apps are coming soon. I am now building Notanica, a sheet-music app for iPhone, iPad and Android that reads a printed page and plays it.

My other projects include Boşa Gezme!, a review site for home and living stores, the Yalınlı civic platform, MarketMatik, the Pose Buddy puzzle game, the DomainDock Chrome extension and day-zero-kit, an open-source setup guide with skills for AI agents.

Before moving into software I worked at Türkiye İş Bankası from 2011 to 2021.

Experience

    Co-founder Coffee Dictionary

    I co-founded Coffee Dictionary and run its whole technical side. It is a coffee glossary in English, German and Turkish on iOS, Android and the web (coffeedictionary.com), with more than 250 terms and a term of the day. Approved community editors propose new terms and improve the translations. I built the Go API, the React Native app, the Next.js website and the admin panel, and I handle deployment and publishing to the App Store and Google Play.

    Founder Bankacı

    I built Bankacı from scratch and run it end to end. It is an app for loans, credit cards, deposits and investments on iOS, Android and the web (bankaci.app), with calculators, two AI assistants and a loan marketplace that connects borrowers with bankers. I handle the product, design, the mobile app, the Go backend, the web surfaces and the Google Cloud infrastructure. It earns from Premium subscriptions and ads.

    Frontend Developer Protel & Simpra

    I build and maintain production web and mobile apps for the hospitality industry. Today I work mainly on Resort Manager and Portal UI, and on whatever else the company needs. On CheckandPlace, a reservation system serving guests from 156+ countries, I built the AI assistant that makes online booking faster and easier. I also maintain the UiKit and Widget component libraries shared across products. I delivered PMS, Loyalty, Simphony Ordering Hub and Simphony Manager App. The teams work in Agile/Scrum with trunk-based development and domain-driven design.

  4. Mar 2022 – Apr 2022

    Scrum Master / Project Manager (Intern) Sarıtay Bilişim

    A short internship coordinating product, design and development work. I helped with sprint planning, kept the backlog up to date and passed information between teams so everyone worked to the same priorities.

  5. Jan 2011 – Aug 2021

    Customer Service Officer Türkiye İş Bankası

    More than ten years at the bank taught me how a business and its processes work. I submitted 184 formal proposals to improve the bank's internal screens and its web and mobile interfaces; 60% of them were put into practice, and I received an award for them. The bank's software team is what pulled me fully into software. Until then it had been a hobby.

  1. Being a Product-Minded Frontend Developer

    AI can help us build faster, but it cannot decide what is worth building. Product-minded frontend work in four practical parts, and why API paths, payloads and error messages are part of the product too.

  2. Your Frontend Works Fine — Until Real Data Hits Production

    Why list virtualization stops being optional once data, interactions and rendering costs compound, and how TanStack Virtual keeps data-heavy React interfaces usable.

    What browsers do with JavaScript dates, why timezones are behind so many booking and location bugs, and why a library like Luxon is often the cleanest way out.
