About Me

Engineer. Builder.
Lifelong Learner.

I'm a Senior Unity Software Engineer based in Ankara, with 8+ years shipping VR/AR, WebGL, iOS, Android and Windows projects for clients in the US, Japan, South Korea and Türkiye. I love learning new tools — especially AI — and applying them to real production problems. I'm equally comfortable deep in gameplay logic, integrating cloud APIs, or leading a team toward a ship date.
