Burak Göksel

Senior Frontend Engineer

Mölln, Germany

Senior Frontend Engineer with 8+ years building scalable Angular applications across fintech, SaaS, and enterprise. Most recently leading the Barclays → easybank migration at BAWAG Group, serving ~2 million customers.

I care about clean architecture, reactive state, design-system-driven development, accessibility, and shipping fast. Lately I've been using AI-augmented workflows to multiply development velocity without sacrificing the bar on review, testing, or security.
