This is Sefik.
I received my MSc in Computer Science from Galatasaray University in 2011.
I have been working as a software engineer since 2010.
I am a West Londoner working in the financial district of London under the UK Global Talent Visa, but I am a true Istanbulite at heart.
My research interests are Machine Learning and Cryptography. I’ve published several research papers about these motivations. Also, I enjoy speaking to communities about these disciplines. Moreover, I enjoy to contribute open source projects.
I am a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for developer technologies and Neo4j Ninja meanwhile.
The blog tagline – 💬 code wins arguments – comes from the mantra of Mark Zuckerberg. I heavily believe in this culture. The best way to build something new is prototyping and seeing it works instead of debating for days. Hence, you will find hands-on experiences I had in this blog.
In addition to these, my hobbies are watching movies 🎬, homebrewing 🍺 and growing cactus🌵. On top of that, I have had a cat 🐈
Feel free to keep in touch if you ever need anything or just want to say hi. While I’m always open to engaging conversations and building connections, please note that I am not assisting with help requests related to university theses, homework, technical support, or provide free consultancy. This is to ensure I can focus on creating content and engaging with you in meaningful ways. Still, you can reach out to me for paid consultancy services.
