About me

A quick look at who I am, what I do, and where I'm heading.

Profile

Hey, thanks for stopping by! I'm Okan — a 21-year-old mechatronics engineering student based in Istanbul. I build mobile apps and websites, and I'm always experimenting with new ideas. If it can be built, I want to try it.

My Story

I first got curious about coding back in high school, but life happened and I took a break. Then AI started changing everything — and that spark came back stronger than ever. I started building my own projects, learning by doing, and honestly haven't stopped since. Right now I'm a 3rd year Mechatronics Engineering student at Istanbul Bilgi University, where everything is taught in English. The engineering side gave me Arduino and robotics, and the curiosity side gave me React Native, Next.js, and a whole lot of late nights.

What I Do

I freelance building mobile apps and websites — using React Native, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, and Supabase. AI is a big part of my workflow; I use it both to speed up development and to integrate smart features into the products I build. Every project is different, and that's exactly what makes it exciting.

Where I'm Heading

I want to keep balancing university and real-world work — ideally remote, from my desk, building things that matter. Whether that's freelance projects, my own products, or a role that aligns with what I love doing, I'm open to wherever the journey takes me. The goal is simple: never stop building, never stop learning.

My Work

Projects

A mix of things I've built — from mobile apps to web projects. Each one taught me something new.

SirGreen London

A cleaning service app built for a London-based company. Customers can book services, track appointments, and manage their account — all from their phone.

A loyalty program app for a coffee shop. Customers earn points with every purchase and redeem them for free drinks.

Swipe Gallery

My first app — a Tinder-style gallery cleaner. Swipe right to delete, swipe left to keep. A fun and easy way to free up phone storage. Later sold the project.

Bilgi Santa

A Secret Santa web app for Istanbul Bilgi University students. 120+ users signed up, created personality-based profiles, and got randomly matched to exchange gifts anonymously.

Robotic Hand

A 3D-printed robotic hand controlled by Arduino and servo motors. Uses Python and OpenCV to track real hand movements in real time — even plays rock-paper-scissors.
