Kadir GÜNAY — UI/UX/Frontend Manager

Dawn2009 – Present

UI/UX/Frontend ManagerAyvalık, Turkey

Senior UI/UX & Front-End Engineer with 10+ years across media, e-commerce, food, healthcare, and iGaming, now managing a front-end team of five across four projects and six white-label brands. I set the architecture and the standards — multi-tenant design systems, component libraries, performance, accessibility — and still write the hard parts myself in Angular, React, Next.js, and TypeScript. Alongside that I lead the team's adoption of AI in the delivery pipeline: prompt engineering, LLM-assisted tooling, and AI-driven product features. My job is to make the team faster without letting quality drift.
