Gebze Technical University, mechanical engineering, 2024 to 2029. Second year.

The robotics team in high school is where this started. Marine came later, and it stuck. A vehicle that has to survive pressure, salt and its own vibration does not forgive wishful thinking. I like that about it.

The questions you want to spend the next few years on.

There is a piano, and I am still nowhere near as good at it as I would like. Progress there gets measured in months.

Indie records, more of them than is strictly reasonable.

And games, now and then. Battlefield 1 mostly — it looks extraordinary, and it keeps a war that most people have quietly filed away right in front of you. If the Ottomans are on the table I take them. Every time, no deliberation. Rocket League is the other one: Platinum, and stuck there in the way everybody in Platinum is stuck there.
