Systems Architect · Software Consultant

Resilient systemsfor ideas that deserve to fly.

I'm Fahrettin Baştürk. I build fast, reliable and long-lasting software with Rust, C++ and modern web technologies. I see software not merely as a technical craft, but as a human discipline shaped by psychology and philosophy.

“The wind is rising… We must try to live.”

Areas of Expertise

End-to-end engineering, from silicon to cloud

I choose tools by workload, not by trend. These are the areas I work in most, and the technologies I rely on in each:

Systems Programming

Core & Systems Architecture

Working as close to the hardware as the operating system allows. When latency is critical, I set aside high-level abstractions, manage memory myself and talk directly to the hardware.

Systems Programming

Hardware-level architectures with full control over CPU cycles, caching, and memory, rejecting garbage collectors and bloated abstractions.

C
C++
Rust

Microcontrollers / Embedded Systems

Bare-metal C/C++ and Rust engineering dictating hardware registers directly within kilobyte-constrained memory, without OS abstractions.

Low-Level Graphics

Pure GPU and Shader programming via direct DirectX and OpenGL APIs, eliminating game engine overhead entirely.

Network Architecture

Distributed Networks & Web

Scalable, high-throughput network architectures designed to move data fast. I build backend systems that strike the right balance between performance, security and the realities of modern SEO.

Full Stack Development

End-to-end architectures bridging type-safe, reactive client interfaces with high-throughput, sub-millisecond Rust backends.

Frontend Web Development

Minimalist, type-safe (TypeScript) interface architectures built on Svelte or Next.js, offloading business logic to the server.

Backend Development

Bottleneck-free server infrastructures shaped by workload: C++/Rust for raw CPU power, Go for massive concurrency.

Databases

Workload-optimized data layers, from PostgreSQL's strict ACID compliance to RocksDB's microsecond-level caching capabilities.

Privacy Networks & Low-Level Web

OpSec-centric, RAM-only, anonymity-focused network services running over Tor and Lokinet, completely bypassing the file system.

Client Development

Client & Desktop Applications

Hardware-accelerated desktop and mobile clients with deep OS integration. I design architectures that run heavy background computation without blocking the UI thread.

Windows & Linux Applications

Ultra-lightweight native clients (Tauri, C++, WPF) bypassing Electron's RAM overhead with direct OS API access and asynchronous multithreading.

Mobile Development

High-performance cross-platform solutions leveraging Dart's AOT compilation to execute directly in machine code, rejecting WebView lag.

Application Packaging

CI/CD pipelines ensuring deterministic builds and isolated dependencies for flawless cross-platform deployment.

Cargo
WiX Toolset

Data Pipelines

Data Processing & Automation

Algorithmic pipelines that parse large datasets, minimize operational overhead and reliably take AI models into production.

Algorithm Architecture

Zero-cost custom data structures in Rust and C++, engineered for spatial locality and minimizing CPU cache misses.

Web Scraping

High-throughput data mining systems that shatter modern firewalls using HTTP/2 framing and dynamic TLS fingerprinting.

Functional Programming & Scripting

Tactical code blocks for rapid prototyping (PoC) and data pipelines, bridging complex systems instantly.

Python
C#
Rust

Machine Learning

End-to-end AI pipelines: from training custom architectures from scratch to deploying sub-millisecond C++ and TensorRT inference engines.

PyTorch
C++ (TensorRT/ONNX)

Automation

Autonomous Systems & Emulation

Where official APIs fall short, I build autonomous assistants and scalable bot infrastructure that model human interaction with millisecond precision.

Bot Development (API)

Distributed interaction layers bypassing rate limits via smart queues, offloading heavy data from Python/Node to Rust.

Rust
Node.js
Python

Self-Bots & User Emulation

Automation infrastructure that simulates human behavior via headless browsers and TLS fingerprint management to work reliably alongside modern WAF and anti-bot systems.

Reverse Engineering

Security & Reverse Engineering

Understanding the black box. I apply static and dynamic analysis to compiled software to audit network protocols, identify vulnerabilities and see how systems really work under the hood.

Reverse Engineering

Dissecting closed-source binaries at the Assembly level in x86/ARM using Ghidra for static analysis and OS-level hooking.

Why Mathematics Matters So Much in Engineering

I’m not talking about memorising formulas, but about developing the analytical muscle. I believe mathematics is what separates a good developer from a mere code writer.

Approach

Beyond the code

I got into software because I wanted to build things that genuinely touch people's lives. I bring more than a technical mindset to the table — the way I think is shaped by psychology, sociology and philosophy.

Philosophy and psychology draw me in because they bring coherence to a chaotic world. Away from the terminal, I read plays and talk with new people to gain different perspectives.

My approach to open source

I open-source the tools I build so others can learn from them. Components with a high potential for misuse (such as certain reverse engineering and network tools) are deliberately kept in private repositories.

Open source: 122
