Years of experience: 11


Hello,
My name is Ibrahim Saricicek and I am a geospatial developer based in Ankara, Turkey. I am writing to express my interest in working remotely with your company.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, I have been working remotely and I would like to continue working in this way. I graduated from METU with a Bachelor of City and Regional Planning in 2006 and have since been working in full stack software development with a focus on spatial applications for over 15 years.

My most recent experience includes working with U.S.-based company Kontur Inc. since January 2022 where I developed tools to analyze 100+ layers of data using Java, SpringBoot, GraphQL, Reactjs, and Postgis. I also prepared the technical part of "Guiding Redesign of OpenAerialMap with Product Mindset" for Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and took part in implementing Geocint for Mapaction, which is a geodata ETL/CI/CD pipeline.

Prior to Kontur, I worked for two years at The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) where I was the project leader and main developer of a geospatial BI tool that was used by governmental organizations. I used Java, Spring Framework, ReactJs, MapboxGL Js, Kepler.gl, and Postgis for this project.

Before TÜBİTAK, I worked for 10 years at Mobiliz, one of the largest vehicle tracking companies in Turkey. There, I developed vehicle tracking web maps, Restful backend development, scheduled geofencing operations, reverse-geocoding of location messages, and scaled the system to handle 2 billion monthly messages. I also worked as a cartographic designer using Mapserver and Mapnik. I used Java, SpringBoot, and Nodejs on the backend and Angular and Leaflet on the frontend.

My first work experience was at Netcad, a software that produces 80% of Turkish geospatial data. There, I was a GIS expert and tester for sectoral products such as mining, city planning, and landscape design.

In addition to my professional experience, I have training videos about Postgis and Qgis on Udemy in Turkish, with over 3000 students. I also volunteer as a tutor for open-source tools such as Postgis, Qgis, Geoserver, Leaflet, and MapboxGL Js at various conferences and meetings.
