The fun side

Proof that backend engineers have personalities. Some of these facts even compile.

Founder mode, weekends only

DevJoys is my one-person product lab: four+ AI products shipped, eight paying customers, and every production incident at 2 AM is mine alone. Best on-call rotation I ever joined.

Super Bowl survivor

Watched 20 TB of live video traffic flow through infrastructure I helped build during a two-week Super Bowl broadcast window. The stream did not drop. My heart rate did — eventually.

Mentor by habit

Mentored 24–25 interns at Jotform. Five became full-time engineers. Also tutored CS 114 students back at Bilkent — teaching is debugging humans, and I like it.

Event organizer past life

As Social Events Coordinator of Bilkent IEEE, I organized 17 social events and boosted club visibility by 35%. Backend engineers can be people persons. Allegedly.

Voting machines & brain waves

Early internships: built a secure online voting prototype with ID-card readers, and a Python app measuring visual perception from electrogram-like receivers. Range acquired early.

Writing things down

I write about engineering on Medium — turning production war stories into articles nobody has to live through twice.
