Born in Kadıköy, Istanbul at June 30th, 1989 as a citizen of Republic of Turkey

B class Driving License since July 7, 2011

As a teenager at school, I was always curious reading computer tech magazines and the other students approached about issues with their phone or laptop. I was the go-to guy for fixing resolving any technical problems.

Today, not much has changed. I’m still the first point of call for technical issues. The difference is I now also I helping to develop innovative software to solve the problems of multinational companies. One of my most recent projects involved designing and rolling-out a new piece of software to optimise the efficiency of holiday /flight bookings. This contributed to a reduction in cost and 45% increase in travel bookings.

In my spare time, I m consulting and creating new idea for side projects.

Never stop learning , and be the change you want to see in the world !!
