Dokuz Eylül University

Associate Degree, Computer Programming

Where the groundwork came from. Two years on programming fundamentals, databases and the object-oriented habits that everything after this was built on. Finished in 2021, a year before the engineering degree picked the thread back up.

2022 - 2026

Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University

B.Sc. Computer Engineering

Four years of computer engineering, graduating in June 2026. Not a clean-room degree. Both internships and every product in the shelf below were built alongside it: a published iOS game, a nine-stem audio separator, a reinforcement-learning arena and a C++ real-time audio project.

Steasoft

Laravel/PHP Developer Intern

Enterprise workflow work in Laravel over Microsoft SQL Server, the kind where the interesting part is the null case, the mis-spelled province and the record that does not match the one next to it.

Improved two enterprise workflow areas (account approval and data integration) with null-safe Laravel/PHP logic backed by Microsoft SQL Server.
Standardized province records through Query Builder queries, name mapping, normalization, debugging and code-quality refinements.

One tap.

Ring by ring.

It's out on iOS.

Core Shift is on the App Store — free, portrait, one thumb. The Android build is still in testing.

Core Shift

Perfect pass

Through the centre

Core reached

Level 37 cleared

Read the gap. Take it.

Core Shift is one sphere circling the outer ring, and a stack of rings turning against each other beneath it. Tap when the gap lines up and the sphere falls inward. Miss, and the level restarts in under a second. 600 hand-tuned levels, every one proven solvable before it ships.
