i’m a software engineer interested in systems.
i spend a lot of time thinking about distributed systems, simplicity, abstractions, and the fundamentals behind good engineering. i enjoy working close to the core of a system. behavior, complexity, trade-offs, and decisions over time.
i write about engineering, computer science, systems, technology, work, and thoughts on the industry.
what i'm focused on
- preparing a youtube series on designing data-intensive applications
- writing my next article in turkish about the current shift in software engineering
- training chess more seriously through puzzles and theory; currently 2087 rapid on chess.com
