About Me
A brief history of excellence, questionable career decisions, and an unhealthy relationship with caffeine.
Yakup Keskin
Co-founder & CTO — Medkit
Python Backend Developer, 6+ years in. Started freelancing on Upwork, built AI solutions for hospitals, backend services for big brands, and enterprise SDKs in the Netherlands. Now co-founder & CTO at Medkit — voice AI patient simulation for medical schools, built to be the assessment standard for the clinical encounter exam.
Computer Engineering graduate from Sakarya University, currently doing a Master's at Kocaeli University. Still learning every day, still Googling things, still mass producing coffee into code. Some things never change.
