I gave an agent everything on this page — the projects, the stack, the Erasmus semester in Brugge, what I'm looking for next. Ask it anything you'd ask me in a first call. Talk out loud, or type if you'd rather keep it quiet.

I'm Duru — a software engineer who got hooked on building things the first time I watched code turn into something people could actually use.
I graduated in June 2026 with a B.Sc. in Software Engineering from Yaşar University in Izmir, with an Erasmus semester studying Applied Computer Science in Brugge, Belgium along the way — my first taste of living and building abroad, and the experience that set my direction.
Most of my energy goes into the cloud — I love the puzzle of making systems that are reliable, scalable, and don't cost a fortune to run.
I got hands-on with Oracle and Azure SQL during my internship at Arkas – Bimar IT, and I've been building serverless projects on AWS — Lambda, DynamoDB, EventBridge — ever since. When I'm not thinking about databases and pipelines, I'm in Unity building game mechanics or deep in a sci-fi or philosophy novel.
I speak Turkish, English (C1), and I'm learning Dutch.
Always up for a new challenge, a new country, and a new problem to solve.
