I’m a Software Developer from 🇹🇷 Turkiye. In my free time, I build hobby projects and enjoy music and movies. I also love to travel, and I take photos of things I find beautiful and share them. I’m just an amateur, but yes, I’m one of those #ShotOniPhone people on social media now. 😄

I don’t play games much these days, but I still play MMORPGs like Black Desert, and Abyssos, a browser-based underwater game I building. 🌊

My main interests revolve around programming, server management, and database systems. I work with languages and tools like Java, PHP (Laravel), and JavaScript (Vue.js, React). On the backend, I work with Linux, Docker, and relational databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL. Recently, I’ve been focusing on AI coding and Cloud Technologies. I believe AI will directly shape our days and our future, and I just enjoy working with it. Cloud makes a lot of work easier, and it will matter more as AI grows. My current hobby project is Abyssos.

I wrote my first code in 2009, for my father’s website. Before that, I had only opened small sites on platforms like blogcu.com. In 2010, I started my first blog, gokselozardali.com. I don’t write there anymore.

Before coding, there was chess. I started playing at 6 and played in tournaments until I was about 14 or 15, with many first, second, and third places. Then I stopped. These days I only play with friends now and then.

Thanks! 😊
