About

My participation in robotics coding in high school was a turning point in discovering my interest in the world of software. I then began my career as a backend developer, and while continuing my journey as a Unity game developer, I am actively working as a backend developer as well. At the same time, I am pursuing my education at Hacettepe University. Initially stepping into the industry as a backend developer, I embarked on an exciting adventure in the coding world. However, when I became captivated by the gaming world, I was introduced to the endless possibilities offered by Unity and decided to further develop myself in this field. My portfolio includes many projects that showcase my creativity and technical skills. From creating my own games to collaborating with other game developers and participating in projects that offer unique experiences, I present a wide range of my work. In the game development process, I meticulously address every detail, from graphics to sound design, coding, and game design, to ensure that users have an impressive and enjoyable experience. Each project in my portfolio represents a step in my career, reflecting my passion and originality.
