Outside of engineering

Enough engineering, let's have a look at some of the things I take in interest in, outside of the professional world.

Personal interests

Guitar, travelling, sports, and more...

I love music and I try to spend my free time learning new musical instruments such as guitar and piano. I also enjoy travelling with my friends and have travelled throughout Türkiye as well as Germany and the Czech Republic. I also enjoy playing video games such as Counter Strike and Tekken. Let's hop on a game!

Guitar Travelling

Let’s collaborate to build something reliable, fast, and useful.

I’m always interested in thoughtful engineering conversations around backend systems, analytics platforms, AWS infrastructure, and learning new technologies in general. I always enjoy a good technical discussion.
