introduction

Hey! I'm Emre, a curious software developer mainly focused on web, but I have also worked on desktop apps and have experience in system programming.

I don't just build endpoints. I've taken projects from ground to production, handling UI/UX, database design, architecture, security, and performance along the way. I believe I have reached the point where I am confident enough to do anything given enough time.

I like to poke around things and ask "why" until my curiosity is tamed enough. Bending rules, questioning assumptions, rejecting old ways for the sake of something better.

interests and hobbies

I listen to Gojira, Parcels, and Angine de Poitrine, read Asimov, Rollo May, and Slavoj Žižek, play Hades, Disco Elysium, and Baldur's Gate 3, think about privacy, open source, and tech, I like to ride my bicycle, take some cat photos, play my electric guitar, and run everything on Linux.
