Who Am I, exactly?
More than just code.
Hi there, I'm Alperen, a 21 year-old Swiss-Turkish computer science student based in Basel, Switzerland.
I'm currently focused on my studies and building projects that help me understand systems in depth.
A quick overview of my journey in tech:
First steps
Wrote my first aim assist (cheat software) for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and discovered my passion for how computers work
Vocational School for Information Technology
Passed the entrance test into the "Informatikmittelschule Basel-Stadt" (Vocational School focusing on IT in Basel) after which I started actually learning stuff
Internship as Informatiker EFZ Applikationsentwicklung
Started a 1-year internship in Basel, gaining hands-on experience in the industry & in order to graduate high school.
Job as System Engineer
Temporarily worked as a System Engineer at the same company as my internship before my Military Service.
Mandatory National Service
Fulfilled federal service obligations (Military/Civil Protection).
BSc Computer Science at FHNW
Began my Bachelors in Computer Science, focusing on software engineering and distributed systems.
Outside of tech, I do powerlifting, play padel, and spend time with friends and family. Also, I've been into cars for as long as I can remember—driving, maintaining, and just appreciating them. Lately, I've also been getting back into chess, mostly fast chess.
