Melike Kecelioglu

My journey in this space has been driven by a deep passion for innovation and a relentless desire to make an impact.

I've worked as a Golang backend developer at a cryptocurrency exchange platform for 1.5 years, where I wasn't just coding but also leading daily meetings and organizing sprints, much like a project manager. During this time, I developed our token and smart contracts using Solidity, collaborated on our ICO plan, and contributed to the tokenomics that powered our platform.

Beyond my professional experience, I'm actively involved in the Web3 community, attending international events like Avalanche Summit 2023, ETHCC Paris, and Starknet Hacker House Paris on scholarships and invites. I'm also proud to be part of the winning team at ETHBrussels, where our project, FairShare, won first place in the WorldID track. Additionally, I'm a regular contributor to ITU Blockchain and have been closely following developments in Worldcoin.

One of my most exciting projects is GhostPay, an API Gateway that bridges Web2 companies with Web3 payment options, allowing users to make payments with stablecoins. This project reflects my belief in the transformative power of blockchain technology and its potential to revolutionize traditional industries.

I’m driven by a desire to learn and grow constantly, which is why I’ve been involved in various roles, from consulting at TÜBİTAK to leading a blockchain project team that tracks geographically indicated agricultural products. My experience spans L1 and L2 solutions, chaos engineering, and full-stack blockchain development.
