# About

I'm a software developer with a strong interest in AI engineering, backend development, automation, and self-hosted systems.

I studied Computer Programming at Bolu Abant İzzet Baysal University. During my studies and two internships, I worked hands-on with C++, C#, .NET, JavaScript, Python, PostgreSQL, and SQL across a range of projects — including safety-critical software in the transportation sector, where reliability and precision weren't optional. That experience shaped how seriously I take discipline and correctness in engineering, even outside high-stakes environments.

I enjoy building things from the ground up — from web applications and REST APIs to CRMs, AI-powered features and self-hosted tools. My main development experience today is around PHP, Laravel, JavaScript and MySQL at work, and Next.js, TypeScript, Python and PostgreSQL in my own projects.

I care about understanding a system end to end, not just writing code that works. I'm particularly interested in where software engineering meets AI: adding AI features that are genuinely useful, like the insights in Life OS or the transcription behind my D&D recorder. I also manage my own Ubuntu server and run several self-hosted services on it, which is part of the same curiosity about how things actually work under the hood.

For me, software isn't just a job — it's a space to keep learning and keep building. I like digging into problems, finding solutions, and applying what I learn in my own projects. Right now, my goal is to keep growing as a developer and contribute to projects where I can solve real problems and add real value.

Outside of software, I design D&D campaigns, experiment with self-hosted infrastructure, and work on personal projects.
