Efe Kodzhagioz — IT Student
Developer in Progress.
IT student at inHolland University focused on data engineering and backend development. I build APIs, databases, and systems that are clean, reliable, and built to last.
Who I Am
I'm currently pursuing my IT degree at inHolland University of Applied Sciences in Haarlem, Netherlands. I focus on building software that solves real problems — whether that's a banking system, a ticket management platform, or a trading tool.
I'm passionate about data processing and backend engineering — designing clean database schemas, building reliable APIs, and understanding how data flows through complex systems. Outside of school projects, I explore algorithmic trading and crypto tools.
Away from the keyboard, I've been into music production and DJ'ing at venues since my teenage years — a creative place that keeps me sharp on the details.

Banking App
LiveA collaborative school project building a full-stack banking application. Covers core banking features including account creation, balance tracking, and transaction history — with a structured backend and relational database design.
Ticket Management System
LiveA ticket management system exploring hybrid database architecture — MongoDB for flexible document storage of ticket data alongside a relational SQL layer for structured reporting. Built as a deep dive into NoSQL design patterns and data modelling trade-offs.
Restaurant Ordering System
LiveA group project building a restaurant ordering platform where customers can place orders and kitchen staff manage fulfilment in real time. Focused on clean data flow between front-of-house ordering and back-of-house processing.
Someren
ArchivedA school management application for the Someren summer retreat — handling cabin assignments, activity scheduling, and participant tracking. Built with a focus on clean relational data modelling and CRUD operations.
Algorithmic Trading Tools
In progressAn ongoing personal project exploring algorithmic trading and decentralised finance. Includes automated trading strategies, market data pipelines, and experimental smart contracts — built out of genuine interest in how software intersects with financial markets.
