Hello, I'm Onur.

A
Software Engineer.

About me

After graduating from Purdue University with a degree in Computer Science and a minor in Mathematics, I dived into the realm of professional software development. My journey into the world of software development began at the age of 15, sparked by a profound interest in problem-solving with the C language. From those early beginnings, my passion for coding only grew stronger, eventually leading me to pursue a degree in Computer Science, leading me to master technologies such as C# (.NET), React, Vue, TypeScript, Next.js, and many more! I am committed to continuous learning and am eager to explore emerging technologies in the software industry.

Outside of coding, I embrace a diverse range of interests and activities. Originating from Turkiye, I have a deep appreciation for nature and enjoy kayaking in serene waters. I am also passionate about 3D printing and photography, using these mediums to express creativity and capture memorable moments. In my pursuit of knowledge, I delve into subjects such as history and philosophy, constantly seeking to broaden my understanding of the world. Additionally, I enjoy playing analog synthesizers and drums! Among the various comforting activities I enjoy, spending quality time with my cat also brings me a sense of peace and comfort that I cherish.
