Outside engineering, I enjoy photography, great food, heavy music, football, basketball, strategy and party games, and a surprisingly serious amount of time thinking about agriculture, sports, and places worth eating at.
This page is intentionally more relaxed. It is a small look into the interests that shape how I spend time, what I get excited about, and the kind of conversations I usually enjoy outside work.
Like to capture moments from continuous world to frozen frames

Is it Baldwin IV or THT?
Close follower and occasional expert-level commentator from the sofa.
I closely follow the Premier League, La Liga, and I also keep an eye on Serie A and Bundesliga. Football is one of those interests that never really switches off. As for the Turkish league, let’s just say my trust in its fairness retired a long time ago.
My love for Fenerbahçe is completely unreasonable, absolutely unstoppable, and not open to negotiation. Strong football opinions come built-in.
I also follow EuroLeague basketball as a Fenerbahçe Beko fan. Different sport, same emotional investment, and similar glory days and heartbreaks.
For this section, a little personality works better than sounding too polished.
Heavy music has been a long-term favorite. Iron Maiden and Metallica are an easy part of the shortlist, and this section can later grow into a few personal favorites, best concert memories, or album picks.
A little chill won't hurt anyone.
This is the kind of interest that tends to become a conversation quickly. Some people discover music casually. Some people memorize intros, solos, and live performances.
Part nostalgia, part competition, part tactical obsession.
I enjoy social games that make evenings more fun, full of lies and slightly more competitive than they need to be.
Not just a game at this point. More like a very long-running parallel life in tactics, transfers, human management, team building and emotional attachment.
Former Dota player, still fond of competitive games, and always open to a good PS title when I want something immersive or story-driven. Still thinking Witcher 3 is one of the best games ever made.
This one deserves its own section because it is not just a casual hobby.
In Istanbul alone, I probably visited and evaluated more food places than is reasonable. Across Turkey, the total is much higher.
This is the part where the page can wink a little: ask me where to eat nearby and there is a decent chance I already have a ranking.
Dedecan ultimate kebap.
