I love algorithms - especially when they love me back ^-^
Oh and also, video games are pretty cool.

Java Developer @ OBSS
June 2014 - March 2015
After graduating from Istanbul Technical University, I wanted to experience both back-end and front-end development and basically wanted to get my hands dirty. After a small investigation, I found OBSS (Open Business Software Solutions) and immediately applied for a job and accepted. After 9 months, I decided to focus on game development and left my job for coming here.
Game Engine Intern @ Yogurt Technologies
June 2013 - September 2013
Yogurt Technologies was one of the few companies in Turkey that had people who had previously worked on video games / graphics and their CTO was a guest lecturer in ITU so I decided to apply for an internship. I was accepted as an intern and I got to work on their 3D game engine.
Education
Istanbul Technical Univerity
BE in Computer Engineering
September 2009 - January 2014
Istanbul Technical University is one of the leading technical schools in Turkey. I studied Computer Engineering in ITU and graduated with a thesis on 2D Android Game Development and Efficient Game Development Patterns.
DigiPen Institute of Technology
MS in Computer Science
August 2015 - May 2017
After graduation, I decided to continue my journey as a game developer and after a thorough research, I saw that DigiPen is the leading college if you want to focus on game development. I don't have any regrets whatsoever.
