I participated in many events such as Python training and cyber security training given by HAVELSAN by taking part in the UAV team in Düzce Mekatek community.

After completing the 1st year of Mechatronics Engineering at Düzce University, I transferred to Manisa Celal Bayar University, Software Engineering Department.

Goals

I want to have in-depth knowledge of the C++ language and further develop my skills. For this reason, I follow and use the C++ Standard Library and modern standards such as C++17, C++20, C++23 in my applications.

My goals include getting more involved in open source projects, getting feedback from experienced developers and improving myself in the process. I would like to better understand computer architecture, improve software quality and gain deeper knowledge about the Linux operating system. I am also interested in improving my ability to read and speak English documentation.

Project

Engineering is a discipline that develops on problem solving skills. The development of this skill requires experience, labor and practice. For this reason, I develop many projects and meet with experienced people.

The software world has always attracted me with its open source and free software principles, forums based on knowledge sharing, and globally accessible educational resources. Especially platforms like GitHub, Stack Overflow and Reddit have inspired me to learn and contribute to the community. People around the world are sharing knowledge to make life easier by developing projects with limited resources. As an engineer, I embrace this sharing and inclusive aspect of software and develop my own projects, which I share on GitHub.

Blog

Life is a journey, sometimes surrounded by challenging obstacles, sometimes with peaceful and serene paths. The conditions, the equipment we take with us and the experiences we accumulate along the way are different for each of us. Yet every step, every turn leads us to new discoveries. Sometimes our paths cross; we share our experiences, have a cup of tea together and chat.

On this page you will find small notes from my own journey. They contain my mistakes, moments of learning and endless discoveries. There are many roads ahead of me that I have yet to complete and explore, but looking at the maps of the roads I have crossed and trying to make sense of them is also part of this adventure.

I hope you find something inspiring or useful for your own discoveries...
