About Me

I am open minded and curious person. Love to learn new things, discuss about new ideas. You can also call me jazz loving, NBA watching and adventure/trouble looking person .

Believe or not, I am also a Minnestoa Timberwolves fan. Twolves FTW!

Currently I work as a software engineer at Turkcell, which is a leading GSM operator at Turkey.

My philosophy about life is:
- The unexamined life is not worth living. Socrates

Music, Movies, and Books

As I stated in my interests, I love jazz music. My favourite musician is Bill Evans, along with Evans, I love Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker etc.

Rock music is also unavoidable. Camel, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Caravan, King Crimson and countless of others.

It always seems so hard to tell about movie/tv show or book taste for me. I like drama movies a lot and sci-fi movies when the script makes sense. It is also the same for books. I will give you a hint about one of my favourite book: 42

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During my trip in Venice, I got rabies vaccine shot in a vaccine center place(yeah, they have places for only vaccine shots, you can not get a one in hospitals). It took two days to find the place, trying to communicate locals with only body language. What a theatre that was.

Also one night at the Sahara desert was also unforgettable for me.
