Programming languages are nothing but tools, therefore I have varying degrees of expertise in different languages. Here's a few of the ones I've used:
- C#: Windows desktop applications with WinForms. A fully-featured terminal emulator, an Assembly-inspired language parser, a database, a personal library manager, an experimental Windows Command Prompt replacement, a Windows Shell replacement, an implementation of the Vole machine with code editor, in-RAM viewer, and many more.
- Python: a complete RISC processor simulator with an instruction set architecture inspired by the RISC-V, a very easy to integrate argument parser package for CLI apps, a Selenium based WhatsApp bulk messager, and many undocumented scripts to automate my workflows.
- C: basic data structures, a fan controller implementation for Raspberry Pi over GPIO.
- Sass/SCSS: many online and offline websites, and a framework under [arbeit studio][as].
- HTML: I honestly love writing pure HTML instead of popular front-end frameworks.
- JavaScript and TypeScript: ukeysuite, a package for scraping and managing the course materials sharing platform of my university, Uludag UKEY; and also the genesis framework.
- LaTeX: math notes, reports, letters, ... :^)
I can efficiently utilize Git, Mattermost, ClickUp, Trello, GitHub Projects and several other tools for team coordination, project management & business analysis. I'm experienced with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop Lightroom, and Figma for image manipulation, raster and vector graphic design.
I've built and/or managed React, Next.js, Svelte, Flutter, WinForms projects.
