From circuits to code

Hi — I’m Yasin. I trained as an Electrical & Electronics Engineer, and somewhere between soldering irons and signal processing I realized the part I kept staying up late for was the code.

So I followed it. These days I build full-stack web apps, cross-platform mobile with React Native, and the backend systems that hold them up. I also spend a good chunk of my time on the other side of the fence — application security, finding the ways software breaks before someone else does.

What this blog is for

A place to write down things I figure out, mostly around:

• Building — practical notes on React, React Native/Expo, Node.js, and Python.
• Systems — backend and data engineering, AWS, and keeping cloud costs honest.
• Security — threat modeling, pentesting, and secure code review from a builder’s point of view.

I like writing that respects your time: a clear problem, what I tried, and what actually worked.

A quick note on code

Here’s the shape most of my posts will take — a bit of context, then something you can run:

function greet(name: string): string {
  return `Hello, ${name} 👋`;
}

console.log(greet('world'));

More soon. If something here is useful — or wrong — email me.
