About Me

My Journey

I was born in 1991 in Soma, Manisa. I changed a lot of schools because my parents are teachers. I completed my primary school in Susurluk district of Balıkesir, secondary school and high school in Manisa.

I graduated from Eskişehir Osmangazi University in 2014 with a degree in Mathematics and Computer. In the same year, I started my master's degree in Management Information Systems at Dokuz Eylül University. I have completed my doctoral education in the same department.

Currently, I serve as an Assistant Professor at Karadeniz Technical University, where I focus on computer science education and research.

Personal Interests

Beyond my academic pursuits, I am an avid technology enthusiast and enjoy staying at the forefront of digital innovations. I am also a Galatasaray fan and enjoy computer games in my leisure time.

One of my notable hobbies is collecting miniature model cars, which I display in a dedicated space at home.
