About the Author

Hi, I’m Cagri.

I’m a problem-solver at heart, driven by curiosity and an unrelenting determination to tackle complex challenges. My work spans the realms of computer architecture, software engineering, and system design—fields where creativity and persistence come together to build meaningful solutions. I thrive on learning, creating, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

Outside of work, I’m unapologetically myself: a nonbinary individual who finds joy in EDM, moments of peace with my two beloved cats, Lilly and Schatzi, and a lifelong fascination with cars—I can often identify make and model with just a glance. I embrace learning as a lifelong journey and believe in the power of evolution, both personally and professionally, to become the best version of myself.

A recent near-death experience profoundly shifted my perspective, reinforcing the delicate nature of life and the incredible strength that comes with resilience. This event inspired me to share my voice more openly through writing, reflection, and genuine connection.

This blog is my space to chronicle that journey. Here, I document the inspirations I encounter, the ideas I explore, and the valuable lessons I learn along the way. My hope is for this platform to not only reflect my growth and curiosity but also serve as a source of connection and inspiration for everyone who visits.

Welcome to my corner of the internet—I’m glad you’re here.

Titles I Wear Depending on the Day:

  • Computer Architect: When I’m designing systems smarter than some humans.
  • Software Engineer: When I’m debugging code and questioning my life choices.
  • Computer Scientist: When I’m diving into algorithms and pretending to be fancy.
  • System Designer: When I’m making tech look effortless (spoiler: it’s not).
  • Technologist: When I want to sound broad and mysterious.
  • Problem Solver: Because no matter the title, that’s what I do best :)

I’ve been a writer at heart since I was around 12 years old, and this blog is a reflection of my ongoing passion; filled with thoughts on life, work, and everything in between.

As a dedicated competitive gamer with decades of experience, I have a deep appreciation for graphics, gameplay mechanics, and design, always optimizing for the lowest latency. Feel free to ask for my Steam username if you’d like to game together!
