01
The personal projects I keep closest to the front.
A 3D money visualisation tool that turns abstract amounts into life-sized bill stacks across 82 currencies.
Founded with Moris Nakri. My role covered full-stack product implementation.
A Pokedex-style wildlife app where users photograph real animals, identify species, and build a personal field guide.
End-to-end technical production for a bilingual contemporary art gallery platform and archive.
A paired open-source template and web app for turning app ideas into structured docs and AI-ready build plans.
A premium, editorial e-commerce platform for curated art and design objects connected to Çağla Cabaoğlu Gallery.
02
A quieter layer of the portfolio: gallery work, artist sites, and shipped commissions.
Designer & Developer
Ground-up relaunch for an artist portfolio, rebuilt to give the work a clearer digital home.
A complete rebuild of an existing artist portfolio rather than a light refresh.
Designer & Developer
Portfolio experience build for artist Can Maden, designed to keep the work image-first and uncluttered.

The other side of localizing games for years — building one.
Living World is a god-game experiment I'm building in C#: a deterministic simulation where thousands of people carry their own memories, relationships, and grudges, and objects carry real ownership histories — who made a key, who stole it, who inherited it. World generation and play are the same simulation running at different speeds, so a town's two-hundred-year history is produced by the same code that produces this week's events.
The Last Caravan
A small, complete warm-up game built on the same foundations: a Godot shell over a pure C# deterministic core. You run the last trade caravan serving a dying mining valley — three settlements, three goods, 52 weeks.
Research phase
The project started as a research repo on text-based game design — feasibility reviews, prior-art surveys, and architecture documents that shaped the current deterministic-simulation approach.
All of this is early, private, and in motion — an experiment, not a product. It's here because it explains where the localization work and the building work meet.
