01About

The long way into code.

I studied how languages work: phonology, syntax, the hidden structure behind every sentence. Then I found a language with a stricter grammar. Now I use both to build systems people actually understand.

01 · Past

Modding games, teaching English

As a kid I tinkered with computers and built mods for the games I played. That's where the programming bug bit. Later I earned a degree in English Language Teaching, specialising in linguistics, and taught high school English in Eskişehir.

02 · Present

Engineering growth platforms

I'm a GHL Platform Engineer, building and maintaining CRM solutions, payment integrations, funnels and marketing automations. My goal is zero friction between a lead showing up and a deal closing.

03 · Future

Building software that matters

I want to keep growing as a developer, go deeper into full-stack engineering, contribute to open source, and create impactful software that makes a real difference in people's lives.

Things I've made on my own.

Side projects where I own everything: the idea, the design, the code and the launch.

Runs locallyOpen-source project

Deşifre

Private, GPU-powered transcription and subtitles that never leave your computer.

A local transcription studio, built Turkish-first and supporting 100 languages. Drop in audio or video, let Whisper transcribe it on your own graphics card, separate the speakers, then polish the text and subtitles in an editor synced to playback and export to six formats. No cloud, no telemetry: your files stay on your machine.

  • Whisper transcription on the GPU with word-level alignment and speaker diarization (WhisperX + pyannote)
  • Playback-synced editor with word-by-word highlighting, split, merge and ±100 ms timing nudges
  • Subtitle view that builds cues by reading speed and flags ones that run too long or too fast
  • Job queue with live progress and ETA, cancel/retry, and automatic recovery after a restart
  • Exports to TXT, SRT, VTT, DOCX, JSON and CSV, with Turkish-aware search, sorting and file names
  • Tuned for 8 GB GPUs: ~7× real time with large-v3 on an RTX 4060 Ti, one model in memory at a time and automatic retry on out-of-memory

Kökten

See how a sentence is built, in English and Turkish.

An animated sentence-anatomy visualizer, born straight out of my linguistics degree. Type any sentence and watch its syntax tree grow, or split a Turkish word into its suffix stack and see how one word maps onto a dozen English ones.

  • Custom Turkish morphology engine with glossed suffix stacks and vowel-harmony notes
  • Animated D3 syntax trees for English and Turkish sentences
  • Turkish ↔ English view linking each morpheme to the English words it becomes
  • Step-by-step playback with replay, step and speed controls
  • Automatic language detection
  • Shareable links and SVG export

Omni Zen

A bilingual wellness platform for mindful living.

A calm, reader-first home for research-backed writing on sleep, nutrition and self-mastery, published in English and Turkish. Under the hood it's built for automation: an OAuth 2.0 API and a custom n8n node let posts be created and published straight from workflows.

  • OAuth 2.0-secured REST API for creating and listing blog posts
  • Custom n8n node that publishes posts straight from my automations
  • English & Turkish editions with localised routes
  • Blog, news and Zen Radyo podcast sections
  • Site-wide search and weekly newsletter sign-up
  • Auto-generated social share images

Audio Trimmer

Trim, fade and export audio without it ever leaving your browser.

A fast, private audio editor with no backend at all. Drop in a file, drag a selection on the waveform, shape it with fades, gain and normalization, then export WAV or MP3. Preview and export run through the same processing function, so what you hear is exactly what you get.

  • 100% client-side processing with the Web Audio API; files never leave the device
  • MP3 encoding in a Web Worker with a live progress bar, so the UI never freezes
  • Hand-written 16-bit PCM WAV encoder that keeps the original sample rate and channels
  • Draggable waveform selection synced both ways with precise mm:ss.ms inputs
  • Fades, gain and peak normalization, previewed exactly as exported
  • Undo/redo history, keyboard shortcuts and Vitest unit tests

04Toolkit

Not code, tools that get work done.

Half technical, half operator, with AI in the loop. I'm as comfortable building a CRM from scratch as I am designing an automation that connects tools or onboarding a team onto a new system.
