Welcome to My Blog: Where Technology Meets Business

Posted on Edited on In
A brief introduction to who I am and what you'll find on this blog — software engineering, SAP, IFRS, cloud architecture, and AI-assisted development.

Who Am I?

I’m Burak Kanber — a Digital Transformation Specialist currently working on the MATISSE EU Horizon Europe KDT Project at Eskisehir Osmangazi University in Turkey. I build cloud platforms, develop computer vision systems, and coordinate cross-border R&D efforts.

What makes my perspective a bit different is that I sit at the intersection of software engineering and business/accounting. I hold a B.Sc. in Management Information Systems and I’m currently pursuing an M.Sc. in Accounting, Auditing & Tax Applications, with a thesis focused on NLP-based greenwashing detection in corporate sustainability reports.

Before my current role, I worked as an SAP Specialist focused on ERP automation, and as a full-stack developer on a TUBITAK-funded IoT fleet management project.

Key Takeaways

  • This blog is written from the intersection of software engineering and accounting/auditing.
  • Expect practical guides (SAP, cloud architecture, AI workflows) grounded in real projects.
  • I’ll prioritize clarity, decision rationale, and reusable mental models.

What Will You Find Here?

This blog covers topics from both sides of my experience:

Software Engineering & Architecture

  • Cloud platform design (Docker, NGINX, Node.js, React)
  • API development patterns and deployment strategies
  • IoT integration and real-time telemetry systems
  • Computer vision with YOLOv8 and production ML pipelines

SAP & Enterprise Systems

  • Practical SAP transaction code guides for everyday use
  • Automation patterns within SAP environments
  • Bridging ERP systems with modern web architectures

Accounting, Auditing & IFRS

  • International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) explained for tech-minded readers
  • Turkish accounting practices and regulatory frameworks
  • Where financial reporting meets data science and NLP

AI-Assisted Development

  • Practical use of AI tools in software engineering workflows
  • What AI is good at, where it falls short, and how to maintain human accountability

Why This Blog?

I’ve spent years consuming content from tutorials, documentation, courses, and books. At some point, you realize that the best way to solidify your knowledge is to produce rather than just consume. That’s the philosophy behind everything I do — including my upcoming book, Just Build It: From Consuming to Producing Technology.

This blog is part of that same idea: sharing real-world experience, practical knowledge, and honest assessments of the tools and techniques I work with every day.
