I'm a high schooler, drawn into the idea of building crazy sounding systems. I learn by programming, and I program to make a difference. Ability to create such systems has given me a new perspective on life.
Projects

A consumer-facing "research rabbit hole" search product built on top of janNet. SvelteKit frontend, Flask backend.
A social network connecting seniors and freshmen at TED Bursa. Real-time WebSocket architecture, 45 users at peak. Built and deployed while still a student there.
