My Story2026
It all started in 10th grade.
An agency internship I asked for myself, a degree between business and code, full stack work for a New York company, then software engineering for international clients. Follow the line, it tells the rest.
Learning the craft
Jul 2021 to Nov 2021
Intern DesignerKonya, Türkiye
In 10th grade I asked a digital ad agency to take me on. Social media content, web and graphic design taught me the basics of design and how to really listen to a client.
Business meets code
Oct 2023 to Jun 2027
Management Information SystemsAntalya, Türkiye
I picked a degree that sits between business and code: managerial thinking and software development in one program. More on that below.
Going full stack
Nov 2024 to May 2025
Part time Full Stack DeveloperNew York, USA
I worked on almost every layer of Metaggio, a metaverse art gallery: Next.js front end, tRPC back end, Three.js spaces and Solidity smart contracts.
Building for the world
Jul 2025 to Mar 2026
Software EngineerAntalya, Türkiye
On a lean team led by a senior developer from Google, I built international apps across web, Go and C# services, and Swift and React Native mobile, and had a say in production plans and marketing strategy.
Akdeniz University2023 to 2027
Half of my degree is about how companies run. The other half is about how the software they run on gets built.
How companies are run, sold and paid for
Marketing, management and accounting.
How the software behind them gets built
Programming, databases and system analysis.
So I speak both languages: the client’s and the codebase’s.

Have something to design, market or build? I’m one message away.
