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 life-altering event gave me a new lens through which to see the world. Facing and recovering from that experience reminded me of life’s fragility and the strength found in resilience. It pushed me to share my voice more openly—through writing, reflection, and connection.

This blog is my space to capture that journey. It’s where I document the things that inspire me, the ideas I explore, and the lessons I learn along the way. My hope is that it becomes not just a place for discovery and growth, but a source of connection and inspiration for those who visit.

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 am a born writer, and I have been writing since I was ~12 years old. This blog is a collection of my thoughts and reflections on life, work, and everything in between.
