My Achievements:

• I played a role in developing 7,500 games for preschool children, primarily those with autism, in collaboration with UNICEF and the Ministry of National Education from Türkiye. My task was to manage this process smoothly. It involved establishing the infrastructure to facilitate communication between 100 pedagogues and teachers, software developers, and the management team. I managed a team of 10 people. Additionally, I ensured that all games would run on any computer. To achieve this, I developed new technology. The officials at the Ministry of National Education commended me for this. Until then, the companies they had worked with were producing projects of 10GB in size. I reduced this by a factor of ten, bringing it down to 1GB.
• I participated in academic projects for the Turkish Education Union (Türk Eğitim Sendikası), Turkish Office Union (Türk Büro Sendikası), and Turkish Health Union (Türk Sağlık Sendikası).
• My former partner and I developed a Twitter marketing tool called CreateTargetAudience.com. It earned over $1,000 in the first month. This increased in the following months. After Elon Musk acquired Twitter and shut down some features, we had to close the product.
• While at university, I was involved with the Tema Foundation (Young Tema). I was also involved with the school's social responsibility club. I was late for my first day of university because I was competing in the Bilgeİş Hackathon organized by Turkey and the European Union at ODTÜ in Ankara. I participated in Career Days at the university.
• I participated in many competitions and events. I won a drawing competition in elementary school, and I participated in and won a zeybek dance competition as part of a team. You know how there's a zeybek dancer in the middle dancing while a team of 100 people stands still? Here I am, the solo zeybek in the middle. Also in elementary school, my creations (like a robotic arm) were exhibited at fairs many times.
• Throughout my life, I have brought a total of 600 projects/products to life, excluding clients. I have learned many lessons in many areas. 600 lessons!
• I started with software by making games. While in elementary school, I was a super moderator on the game programming forum Realses.com for two years.
• I have 17,000 subscribers on my YouTube channel. I have over 2 million total views. I also made it to the news with a video on my Instagram account that received over 1 million views. (The 2+2=5 video is mine.)
• My thePlus.so product has been used a total of 1 million times. It has a total of 8,000 members. I have customers from Japan to the United States, and from Germany to China.
• For a period of time, I volunteered as a moderator on Komünite. I gave some presentations. 1, 2, 3, 4.
