"A teacher is a professional learner." This philosophy defines my transition into technology. Yoked with an Integrated B.S. & M.S. in Teaching Chemistry from Turkey's top institution, **Boğaziçi University**, I spent years designing curricula, teaching advanced Grade 11/12 Chemistry (SCH3U/SCH4U) and High School Math (MPM1D/MPM2D) in Ontario, and researching pedagogical methods.
In Canada, I graduated from the **College Teachers Training Postgraduate Program** at George Brown College to align my academic skills with the Canadian educational landscape.

Edebiyat, benim dünyayı algılama ve ifade etme yöntemimdir. Eylül 2023 yılında Luna Yayınları etiketiyle raflarda yerini alan **"Kıyıda Bekleyenler"** adlı 169 sayfalık basılı şiir kitabının yazarıyım.
Kelimelerin gücüne olan inancım, beni sadece yazmaya değil; aynı zamanda **yazılım ile sanatı birleştirmeye** itti. Python tabanlı olarak yazdığım otomatik şiir/görsel Reels sistemi, edebi eserlerin modern sosyal medya mecralarında kodlar aracılığıyla canlanmasını sağlıyor.

Beyond algorithms and classrooms, I believe in being grounded in the real world. My diverse life experiences feed directly into my software architecture:
Taught me how to connect with people from all walks of life. Navigating GTA cities (Mississauga, Markham, Toronto, Oakville) gave me an intimate understanding of local restaurants and small businesses, which ultimately inspired me to build Nora Agents to help them automate bookings.
Gave me deep, hands-on experience in business logic, product metrics, arbitrage formulas, and market analysis, which I use to design high-performance retail calculations and database tracking tools.
"A great systems engineer is not someone who sits in an isolated room; it is someone who understands real-world flows, real businesses, and human connections."
