Interests

As a System Administrator, I spend most of my day immersed in tech. But when I step away from the screen, I’m off traveling, camping, or capturing the perfect shot as a photographer and aviation planespotter. I’m a total aviation enthusiast and work in the field as a professional hobby.


Projects

    Igastatus - Sawstatus

    I keep a close watch on Istanbul Airport and Sabiha Gökçen Airport through dedicated monitoring websites, staying tuned into the pulse of aviation at two of Turkey’s busiest hubs.

    APISIX

    I used to actively contribute to the APISIX project under the Apache Foundation, focusing on traffic management. As a team, we developed new plugins and helped establish the Turkish community.
