ABOUT

A brief history.

I started spending time on the internet in 2012. Since then I have worked on web applications, mobile apps, API services and plenty of weekend rabbit holes. I built large internet communities and kept them active until 2018. In 2017 I developed Turkey's largest chatbot, holding that title for a year.

Since 2020 I have been working professionally: designing API services and web applications, setting up infrastructure, and supporting teams through containerization. I have contributed to 10+ open-source projects and still ship OSS part-time, mostly on weekends, without seeking profit.

I love building things on the internet and sharing them with people. Developing human-centered products that solve real problems is my greatest passion.
