Who I am

A Builder
at Heart

Mehmet Akif Özdemir — Full Stack Developer based in TurkeyI build things on the web because making something from nothing is still the best feeling I know. The rest is just details — and I love the details.

I was born in 2001 and grew up in Yozgat. When I enrolled at Konya Technical University to study Computer Engineering, I thought coding was just something engineers had to get through. Then I wrote my first real program and realized it was something I actually wanted to stay up for.University taught me the foundations; the internet taught me everything else. I spent most of my free years reading docs, breaking things, and rebuilding them a bit better. Somewhere along the way it stopped being learning and started being just how I think.When I'm not at a keyboard, I'm usually deep in a book, lost in a slow-burn series, or out walking with no particular destination. I like things that reward patience — stories that take their time, ideas that don't resolve neatly, conversations that go somewhere unexpected.

My favorite words that keep me goingDon't give up. Push through the droughts. Channel the inevitable disappointments back into your craft. Break molds. Think. Create. But most importantly, stay alive. And in the meantime, make it about others. That seems to work. Stay strong. Live on. And power to the local dreamer.

SCREEN

Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Suits. Characters that earn their complexity and stories that don't flinch. Good writing changes how you see everything else.

IDLE

Games are the medium that shaped how I think about systems and design. From retro classics to indie gems — if it has good mechanics, I'm in.

SOUND

Twenty One Pilots, Arctic Monkeys, Linkin Park. Music that hits hard and means something. The kind you find at sixteen and still come back to at twenty-five.
