About Me
I build web apps for everyday use and share my thoughts on living with purpose. For the extra curious, here's my blog.
I grew up in a Turkish immigrant family in Austria, which taught me two things: adapt fast and aim higher. My dream back then was to live somewhere by choice, not necessity. I became the first in my family to graduate university and moved to Ireland, where I built a career leading international teams at a global tech company.
After living across five countries, I've now made Malaysia home. I'm married and have a daughter. My goal now is to help shape a future where Muslims are seen not just as immigrants, but as innovators.
