The guy in the hat. Co-founder, TekTık

About

I took apart my first cassette player at three. It was plugged in. I got a shock and kept the habit. I learned HTML by reading other people's page source and was paid for code at fourteen. Since then I've written the first version of a lot of things: a restaurant ordering startup, a media-monitoring crawler, a Telegram game that 400,000 people signed up for. I was CTO of a 50-person blockchain company and taught Ruby to around 150 students at free summer and winter camps. I've co-founded three companies, and one closed when the money ran out. Now I'm building TekTık with my longtime co-founder. From Eskişehir, I run a homelab in my attic that controls about a hundred devices and speaks Turkish. Bring me the problem that looks too hard. Those are my favourite.
