Back in the olden days, before that thing we call Y2K, I was a pilot, but then I accidentally became a programmer. And now I'm a data monkey. Nearly all of my career has been spent working in Background Screening, Healthcare, Insurance, Government or Military, where cybersecurity has played a fairly heavy role. I've learned quite a bit about quite a lot, and my interest has been piqued in more topics than I can ever hope to master.

On the current step of my adventure, I find myself on the path as a DBA for the U.S. Army.

And I'm still more curious than is probably good for me.

I’m Hüseyin Karagöz, a Software Architect and Android developer who first met Kotlin through Android — long before it became the community standard. Over the years, I’ve built countless Android apps, and Jetpack Compose became my creative playground for designing expressive, declarative, and scalable UIs.

That curiosity eventually led me to Kotlin Multiplatform and Compose Multiplatform, where I now focus on building intelligent, shared architectures that extend beyond Android — unifying experiences across mobile, web, and desktop. Lately, I’ve been exploring how AI reasoning can interact with server-defined UI systems, creating adaptive, context-aware interfaces that evolve dynamically in real time.

Beyond development, I’m a core GDG Istanbul and DevFest Istanbul organizer. I love mentoring developers, fostering collaboration, and helping shape events that bring ideas to life. My recent talk, “When the UI Starts Thinking,” reflects my ongoing mission to push the boundaries of what’s possible with Kotlin — to build apps that don’t just run… they think.
