Being fascinated by computers and electronics since getting my first 386SX at age 13 and spent several years investigating the development world with GW-BASIC until my university, during which i continue developing as a freelance developer and advanced to the final during IBM Scholar Challenge 2002 with the software i developed, based on Embedded Linux.

During my studies, i investigated the OpenSource movement and contributed to the community in various ways. This includes lectures, presentations at local university Linux community and contributing the nation-wide Linux organisations with presentations.

I am holding a BA Computer Engineering from Galatasaray University, M.Sc. System and Control Engineering from Bogazici University and MBA from Heriot-Watt University.

My professional career began in 2003, during while i worked as a developer, system admin, trainer, consultant and CTO.
