I was born in Gaziantep in 1989. In 1997 — when I was only 8 years old — my life crossed paths with the computer, and we never parted again. During the infancy of computers and the internet in Turkey, while most people hadn't even heard the word "internet", I was already in front of the screen.
I have spent my entire commercial life in the software and technology industry. From the golden age of ICQ to IRC channels, from Google's arrival in Turkey to the enactment of internet laws, from dial-up modem sounds to fiber infrastructure, from the mobile revolution to the age of AI — I personally witnessed and took part in every critical moment of this country's digital history.
The most valuable thing I learned on this journey: technology is a tool, the result is business. Many people write code, but very few know how code turns into commercial value. I know both. Today, I am fluent in all major languages and technologies of the software world; using technology and my experience, there is nothing I cannot do.
