Okan Atas

I'm a software developer and founder based in Toronto, with a passion for building scalable SaaS platforms and innovative solutions. Over the years, I've founded and led multiple SaaS ventures, developed fintech payment systems, and created open-source tools that serve thousands of users.

SaaS & Platform Development: I've architected and built multi-application SaaS platforms serving diverse industries including healthcare, fitness, education, and hospitality. My work includes developing comprehensive booking systems, client portals, website builders, and analytics dashboards. I specialize in creating scalable microservices architectures, implementing multi-provider payment systems with Stripe Connect, and deploying containerized applications on AWS EKS with robust CI/CD pipelines.

Fintech & Payment Systems: With extensive experience in fintech, I've integrated numerous payment gateways and processors, ensuring PCI DSS compliance and implementing secure transaction processing. I've worked with payment systems handling cross-border transactions, multi-currency processing, and fraud mitigation strategies, always prioritizing security and scalability.

Full-Stack & Cloud Expertise: My technical expertise spans modern frontend frameworks (Next.js, React, TypeScript), backend development (Go, Node.js, Java/Spring Boot), and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes). I've also explored IoT solutions, building knowledge-based systems with remote database servers, and contributed to open-source mobile applications with 100K+ downloads on Google Play.

Current Focus: I'm currently leading two SaaS platforms, a multi-application platform for service-based businesses and an NFC tags platform that enables seamless digital connections. Both projects reflect my commitment to creating solutions that solve real-world problems while maintaining high standards for code quality, user experience, and system reliability.
