I'm Ozan Batuhan Kurucu

I am a Front-End Engineer at Arena-AI, specializing in building modern, scalable, and interactive web applications. My daily tech stack includes Next.js, TypeScript, TailwindCSS, Styled-Components, and various AI-powered development tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor AI.

Passionate about emerging AI technologies, I actively explore ways to integrate AI into front-end development to enhance user experiences and streamline workflows. Currently, I am working on a personal project where I aim to complete 50 HTML, CSS, and JavaScript projects using modern technologies to sharpen my skills and stay ahead in the industry.

I take pride in my meticulous approach to coding and problem-solving. Collaboration is a core aspect of my work philosophy—I proactively engage with my teammates to ensure seamless development processes and effective communication within the team.

Looking ahead, I am particularly interested in the evolving role of AI in front-end development. As these two fields continue to merge, I aspire to contribute to projects that push the boundaries of interactive and intelligent user interfaces. Additionally, if needed, I am open to transitioning into a full-stack role to expand my capabilities.

Outside of work, I enjoy walking, playing tennis and football, and sharing my knowledge through writing. In 2024, I had the opportunity to travel to Bangkok for a business trip, where I collaborated in person with colleagues from the New York office. Although I work remotely, I embrace opportunities for real-world interactions to strengthen professional relationships.

I define myself as hardworking, ambitious, and honest. My personal motto is: "Those who don't work hard today will regret it in the future." In life, I believe that the world is full of beauty—it all depends on the perspective from which you look. I continuously strive to learn new things, improve my skills, and seek insights from those more experienced than me.

With an outgoing personality, I find it easy to connect with people and engage in meaningful conversations. Due to time zone differences between Turkey and New York, I haven't been as involved in tech communities and meetups as I'd like, but I always look for ways to contribute and stay connected with the industry.
