Here you can check out what I'm working on!

I was born and raised in Istanbul, and I am now located in Amsterdam. My academic journey builds on a foundation of curiosity and drive, reflected in my diverse projects and experiences such as development of an application or making a portfolio website from scratch or even my contribution in robotics field. Before my time in Amsterdam, I practiced my leadership and technical skills through four years of involvement in FIRST Robotics, where I was introduced to many concepts such as teamwork, problem solving and during my last year I was honored to lead my team in designing and building competition robots. These experiences taught me the value of teamwork, resilience, and pursuing innovation with a clear purpose.

Personal Portfolio Website
A clean, responsive personal website built from scratch to showcase my work, experience, and technical skills. It's designed to serve as a digital resume and portfolio hub, featuring project highlights, links to my GitHub repos, and a simple yet modern UI. This project demonstrates my web design abilities, proficiency with HTML/CSS/JS, and commitment to maintain a professional online presence.
more-than-tasks
A productivity tool focused on task management with an emphasis on meaning and self-reflection. MoreThanTasks lets users not only track tasks, but also categorize them by purpose, set long‑term visions, and reflect on progress. It's more than a to-do list — it helps structure work around personal goals. I built this to improve my own productivity workflow and showcase my skills in building full-stack, goal-oriented applications.
Calendar Automation
A Python based tool that automates the creation of Google Calendar events by analyzing your Chrome browsing history. Using SQL queries on the Chrome history database, it extracts key information such as how long you spent on a tab and when you last visited it—and then automatically generates corresponding events in your Google Calendar via the Calendar API. This project showcases my skills in data processing, API integration, and automation.
