i've been writing code to some degree since i was 10. the first language i learned was c# (with winforms), and was really
interested in malware analysis at the time. (shoutouts to danooct1)
nowadays, i'm still into cybersecurity and malware analysis, but my main thing has shifted towards
webdev.
nowadays, i specialize in backend web development and write web apps, cli tools, bots, etc. you can find
some of my personal projects over at
projects.html
my favorite languages are rust and bash, but i can write js/ts, c, c#, go; and to a lesser extent, java (minecraft modding), python, brainfuck, php, and lua.
i love learning new things. sometimes, i will make
potentionally useless
yet involved projects just to learn a new thing or practice my
skills.
will write:
- websites & webapps
- cli & (simple) gui desktop apps
- discord, minecraft, whatsapp etc. bots
- minecraft mods
- (or whatever else really)
my favorite/go-to web stack is
programming language | rust |
web framework | axum |
logging system | tracing |
async runtime | tokio, and the rest of the tokio ecosystem |
templating engine | askama |
database and driver | postgresql with sqlx |
web server | lighttpd |
system | linux on arm64 |
video games are my second passion. my all-time favorites are, in no specific order after the first: team fortress 2, celeste, deep rock galactic, ultrakill, minecraft, half-life, counter-strike, hyperhell, cruelty squad, portal & portal 2.
fluent in english (not certified though somewhere around C2 or C1) and turkish (native). A1 in german. enough to play csgo in russian.
my cat's name is karamel. i love him so much.
this page has a total of 0 bytes of javascript
in my experience (and many others'), setting constraints about the medium like "completely static, no javascript" enhances
one's creative expression.
besides, i think simple websites like this shouldn't require a powerful system to render. i want my site to be accessible on
everything from a tui browser on the crumbling old laptop you found on the sidewalk, to a new pc running the latest version
of insert dominating browser here. within realistic standards of course.
i do use javascript extensively in other projects, but do you really need to react facebook nextjs angular vue csr hydration
firebase a simple personal website like this, though?
