Apart from being a software engineer, I enjoy music the most. During high school and early university years, I played the bass in rock bands and performed live tens of times in local pubs. During late university years, I learned a little bit of DJ'ing and music production. I picked the bass back up recently, and played a couple of shows with Otokoç Band. We are in the process of releasing a single and music video. Lastly, I write some music in my free time, whose genre may range from Classical to Rock, and even to HipHop.
I see Pink Floyd, Camel and Rainbow as great influences to my life. I enjoy listening to most classical rock work from 70's and 80's. I owe my musical taste to David Gilmour's guitar playing.
At elementary and high schools, I attended theatre clubs of the respective schools and performed in plays, which were exhibited more than 30 times in total.
Although playing it for years on streets as a child, I did not have much talent and entusiasm in football. However, I found great excitement in basketball in high school years, which led me to attend a local club for training and a couple of formal matches. I still play it with my friends for fun and watch EuroLeague when I bump into on TV. I used to watch NBA regularly at high school, but I like EuroLeague more now. I also took golf lessons during the pandemic and quite liked it.
I broadcasted radio shows in our university radio club (RadyoSU). My shows mostly were about music and the history of rock bands. The last show I broadcasted featured the university professors, which became a big hit.
I attended Model United Nations (MUN) conferences during my Bachelor years. In my last conference (HASALMUN 2016), I was a member the organizing team as an academical writer and advisor.
