Halit Dincer

Software Engineer at Mark43


I'm a software engineer based in Toronto. I studied computer science at Toronto Metropolitan University and now work at Mark43, where I build software for public safety agencies.

Outside of work, I like building things from scratch and running them on my own hardware. I have a small home server that hosts most of my projects and a handful of self-hosted services. I enjoy the full loop — writing the code, containerizing it, and watching it deploy itself.
