Doğan Uçar

Hi, my name is Doğan Uçar, I am a Freelancer/Self-Employed Senior Software Engineer, operating through my own company, Ucar Solutions. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and a Master’s degree in Intelligent Systems, both from Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences. During my academic journey, I gained practical experience working at Atos Worldline GmbH, a leading company in payment and transaction services. There, I focused on internal web-based full-stack projects using PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript, along with smaller projects involving Oracle SQL.

My Master’s degree culminated in a thesis and the development of an open-source software product at Nextcloud GmbH, the company behind the widely-used open-source software “Nextcloud.” From 2019 to 2021, I served as a Senior Software PHP Backend Developer at Check24, Germany’s top platform for comparing various products, including insurances.

In 2022, I transitioned into freelancing, delivering high-quality software solutions. I have successfully completed projects for public authorities in Germany, private companies in both Spain and Germany, and a variety of freelance assignments across multiple industries.

Through my PHP support platform, I share over 10 years of industry experience with other developers. This platform is more than just a resource – it’s a comprehensive support system tailored to assist developers with any challenges, including legacy code bases and custom solutions that deviate from the norm. I guarantee a response time of no more than 24 hours and also provide support in related fields, such as databases (MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle, etc.), Linux (Debian, RedHat, etc.), JavaScript, Grafana/Prometheus, and more.

As a Software Engineer, I am deeply passionate about computer science, constantly exploring new languages, disciplines, and areas within the field. A strong advocate for open-source development, I actively contribute to the community by creating and sharing my work. One of my standout contributions is Keestash, an innovative Open Source Password Manager designed to offer secure and efficient password management for users. Keestash reflects my commitment to developing practical, high-quality tools that benefit the broader tech community. Beyond coding, I find joy in reading, playing a traditional Anatolian stringed instrument, and capturing moments with my SLR camera.

Being multilingual, I continuously work on improving my language skills. I have launched a small blog in Turkish where I share my insights on IT, engineering, and technical topics with the Turkish-speaking community.

Open Source

I am committed to contributing to the community so others can benefit from my experiences. I believe practical application enhances theoretical understanding, which is why I initiate simple projects and allow them to evolve, as I did with PHPAlgorithms and continue to do with Simple-RBAC. My passion lies in scripting languages like PHP and Python, which I use daily.
