About Me

Hello, I'm Ferhat Gölge. I'm a Senior Full Stack and SaaS Developer based in Ankara, specializing in the PHP ecosystem. I develop scalable, sustainable, and production-ready web applications using Laravel, Symfony, PHP, MySQL, and Docker technologies.

Throughout my software development career, I have focused particularly on SaaS platforms, multi-tenant architectures, REST API development, JWT authentication, licensing systems, subscription models, and system integrations. I have strong experience in backend architecture, database design, performance optimization, and secure API design.

Between 2015 and 2022, I worked as a project manager and developer at Arme Consulting. During this period, I actively participated in the development of the Safeplorer platform, which focuses on occupational safety. Using Symfony and PHP, I developed the platform's backend architecture, worked on the SCORM-based LMS module, e-signature integrations, and REST API services that communicate with different systems.

In the projects I develop, I prioritize not only writing working code, but also clean architecture, sustainability, security, performance, and ease of long-term maintainability. I incorporate modern software development practices into my projects using Clean Architecture, SOLID principles, design patterns, Docker-based development environments, and CI/CD processes.

As a full-stack developer, I work with PHP, Laravel, and Symfony on the backend, while on the frontend I develop user-friendly interfaces using technologies like HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap, JavaScript, and jQuery. Linux server administration, Git processes, database optimization, and API security are also among my areas of expertise.

Today, I focus particularly on developing SaaS products, API-based systems, multi-tenant applications, licensing infrastructures, and scalable web platforms. My goal is to create reliable, manageable, and scalable software solutions tailored to the needs of businesses.
