About Me
Caner Obalı

Hi, I’m Caner. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Architecture from Middle East Technical University (Ankara, Turkey), where I developed a strong foundation in design thinking and problem-solving. My career began in architecture, but my passion for technology and innovation led me to transition into project management and later into UX/UI design. With over a year of experience as a Project Manager in the maritime sector, I successfully managed budgets, timelines, and cross-functional teams, honing my ability to deliver high-quality results under pressure.
My transition into information technologies as a Service Manager allowed me to be closer to the dynamic developments in the tech field, where I discovered my passion for digital design. Leveraging my architectural background, I shifted my focus to UX/UI design, combining creativity with functionality to create seamless user experiences. At Karaca AS, I redesigned product detail pages, boosting sales by 40%, and spearheaded data-driven initiatives that improved user flows and engagement. My experience spans a variety of projects, including IoT applications, digital wallets, and virtual stores, always ensuring that user needs align with business goals.
I am an organized, motivated, and ambitious professional with a strong ability to adapt to new challenges and environments. A quick learner with a collaborative mindset, I excel in communicating ideas and working as part of a team. Whether managing projects or crafting intuitive interfaces, my goal is to transform ideas into meaningful, user-centric designs that make an impact.
