🖥️ Working: I am a backend intern at Radome, working on compliance infrastructure for startups. I believe in the product and the vision.
🎨 Personal projects: I run DatabaseStory, where I interview database engineers from MongoDB, AWS, PostgreSQL, and more.
📚 Reading: Database internals, biographies, and notes from engineers who build serious systems.
⛰️ Spending time: I’m currently visiting my family in my home village in Türkiye, trying to reconnect with my second culture.
🎶 Listening: To a lot of music lately, and Turkish rock, especially Duman and Mor ve Ötesi.
🏍️ Watching: After watching Better Call Saul, which is probably in my top 5 now, I started watching The Last of Us.
👀 Looking forward to: Having more quiet time for reading and writing, going deeper into my projects, and meeting curious people.
