ABOUT
I completed my studies at Dokuz Eylül University, specializing in Public Administration, in 2018. Following a series of short-term sales roles, I experienced a period of unemployment due to my involvement in the airline second pilot nomination process and some health issues. Presently residing in Ankara, Turkey, I am employed as a remote Web Developer for an IT company based in Zagreb. Before starting to work as a Junior Web Developer, I was a hybrid Live Support Representative at the same company for the previous 2 and a half years. In pursuit of a career change, I enrolled in the Data Science Bootcamp at Istanbul Data Science Academy in June 2023, successfully completing the program in January 2024. After completing my Data Science training in January this year, I tried to further develop myself in the same field. Finally, in March, I requested my company to start me in a data-related position. Unfortunately, my request was denied on the grounds that I did not have enough experience for such a position and that just having training would not be sufficient. However, they must have noticed my efforts to improve myself and my eagerness to continuously learn, as they made me another offer. They promised to start me as a Junior Web Developer if I successfully completed the training they planned for me. Working in a data-related position was not a promise I made to myself. Starting in any position that required coding skills would be a significant step for my career. Therefore, I couldn’t refuse this offer, which made me the happiest among the offers I’ve received in my life. I completed the famous Angela Yu’s “The Complete 2024 Web Development Bootcamp” from The App Brewery in August 2024 and I started to work as a Junior Web Developer in September 2024 at the same company.
