About Melik
I'm a veterinarian and dairy farm owner who became a software developer out of operational necessity — and I build software the way an operator needs it: reliable, fast, and low-maintenance.
My proof of work is live: I designed and built from scratch the production ERP that runs my own farm, battle-tested in daily use since 2024. PostgreSQL/Supabase backend (50+ tables, 170+ server-side functions with RPCs, triggers and row-level security), a zero-dependency offline-first JavaScript PWA frontend, an in-app AI assistant running read-only SQL with human-reviewed execution plans, and full CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Playwright E2E, SonarCloud). It runs the entire operation — inventory, records, scheduling, task automation — on free-tier infrastructure, in a barn with bad connectivity. I am both the developer and the most demanding daily user.
What I do for clients:
AI agents & LLM integration — autonomous workflows with real guardrails, not chatbot demos
Automation & data pipelines — web scraping, validation, deduplication, reporting (Python/Go)
Backend & database architecture — PostgreSQL schema design, performance, RLS, migrations
Lean web applications — offline-first PWAs that run fast on any hardware, no framework bloat
My philosophy: maximum reliability from minimal resources. No unnecessary dependencies, no bloated stacks, no monthly subscription chains — systems that keep working and are cheap to run.
I've worked inside the operations I now build software for: professional kitchens, tourism sales, veterinary field work, wholesale dairy distribution, and my own farm. I don't need your domain explained twice — messy real-world workflows are my home turf.

Experience
- EgeSüt (own dairy farm operation)Founder & Sole Software DeveloperAGRICULTUREJune 2024 - Today (2 years and 2 months)Aydin, TürkiyeI own and operate a dairy farm — and I built, from scratch, the production ERP system that runs it. The system is battle-tested in daily use since 2024: herd management, reproduction cycles, clinical records, inventory/pharmacy and task automation, all on a PostgreSQL/Supabase backend (50+ tables, 170+ server-side functions with RPCs, triggers and RLS) with a zero-dependency offline-first vanilla JS PWA frontend. Includes an in-app AI assistant running read-only SQL with human-reviewed execution plans, and full CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Playwright E2E, SonarCloud). Designed for harsh field conditions: offline-capable, fast on low-spec hardware, running entirely on free-tier infrastructure. Live: meliksahtokur.github.io/egesut-erp1
