Doya, a small black hamster, resting in a hand

Doya

This is Doya, my hamster. Small enough to fit in the palm of my hand, yet big in character. Doya passed away in 2024 — this little corner of the site is in loving memory.

About

I am a civil engineer from Istanbul Technical University, currently pursuing an M.Sc. in Coastal and Ocean Engineering at METU. Alongside my studies I have spent several years as a frontend and full-stack developer — from a geotechnical engineering web app to large-scale SaaS platforms. My current work sits where these meet: wave mechanics, CFD, and image processing.

  • —Coastal & ocean hydrodynamics
  • —Computational fluid dynamics (OpenFOAM)
  • —Image processing
