About Me

The Awakening

Every journey has a beginning, and mine started with a laptop.

I bought my first personal laptop—a Samsung Galaxy Book Pro. At first, it wasn't a programming machine; it was where I explored different worlds through games like Grand Theft Auto V, Red Dead Redemption 2, Assassin's Creed, A Plague Tale: Innocence, Stray, and many others.

Looking back, I realize those games gave me more than entertainment. They made me curious about how software, graphics, and interactive worlds were created. I wasn't writing code yet, but the curiosity had already begun.

Discovering Programming

I enrolled in an academic lyceum.

That was my first real introduction to programming. Like many beginners, I started with HTML and CSS.

Watching a webpage come to life from a few lines of code felt almost magical. Every small success encouraged me to learn something more, and before long, programming had become more than just another subject—it became something I genuinely enjoyed.

Building My First Solution

While studying English at EDU, I noticed a problem shared by almost every student. Vocabulary lists disappeared. Homework files were constantly lost. Students repeatedly asked each other for the same materials.

Instead of accepting it as normal, I asked myself: "Why isn't there one place where everyone can find everything?"

That question became my first real project. I built a platform where teachers could upload vocabulary lists, homework, and learning materials. To make it happen, I taught myself JavaScript, Git, and GitHub.

Within a short time, nearly 40% of the students were actively using the platform. That experience completely changed how I viewed programming—as a tool capable of solving real problems for real people.

The Biggest Leap

Getting accepted into PDP University became the biggest turning point. When our Enterprise teacher gave us a simple assignment to build a project, I remembered my educational platform and thought: "Why not turn this into something much bigger?"

That became the beginning of EduVenture. I pushed far beyond my comfort zone, learning Firebase, Service Workers, Progressive Web Apps, and offline synchronization.

Then something unexpected happened. I showed EduVenture to my Philosophy teacher, and he asked: "Would you like to have a job?"

That single conversation led to the creation of TengdoshUstoz. For the first time, I wasn't building software as a student. I was building software for real users, real clients, and real expectations.

Expanding Horizons

Today my curiosity has expanded far beyond web development.

I'm building AI systems capable of reading handwritten sales reports, extracting structured information with OCR, performing calculations automatically, and delivering accurate results through Telegram.

Every new project teaches me something different, but they all begin exactly the same way:

I notice a problem. I imagine a better solution. Then I start building.
