📖 Summary
Greetings earthlings! Here’s a summary of my past 10 years: Created Netflix God Mode; a tiny script that expands Netflix scrollers. Went viral in a couple of days. Featured on Techcrunch, ProductHunt, Mashable, CNET, The Verge, Gizmodo, Engadget and Fox News. Created Service Connect for The Home Depot. The in-store web/mobile application that connects customers to service providers. Generates hundreds of thousands of leads every month and over $150M incremental revenue. Created Pigeon. A smart TV remote for your home that connects to your iPhone (trypigeon.com). Studied electronics, IR, Bluetooth LE and XBEE technologies and created a hardware prototype and an iPhone application and got an interview from Y Combinator. Created RESTful APIs and apps used by 3 million users and helped streaming 11 million hours of music every day at Fizy. Improved a Linux distro for 2.5 years; Pardus. I was exposed to kernel development, package management, file systems, installers, UI/UX design and open source community dynamics. Google Summer of Code Mentor. Created awareness for open source software in Turkey with conferences. Redesigned the client-side chat and traffic services of the largest Turkish portal Mynet that are used by 6.5 million users and visited 38 million times every month. Won the 1st place in the world in an IEEE web site competition. Got accepted to one of the top 10 universities in Turkey, Bogazici University, as a masters student and got my software engineering degree. Lived in 4 different continents, dealt with many different people and situations and discovered that finding the right ideas, tools, materials & people to solve problems is my strongest skill. I do full-stack with Python, Django, Javascript, Objective-C, ReactJS, Selenium & Unit tests, CSS3, Sass, Photoshop, MongoDB, MySQL, Memcache, HAProxy and Nginx. My goal is to work with passionate creators who strive for making life better.
