From zero
to the cloud.

Where it all began.

I was fascinated by computers — by creating something with nothing more than an idea and a keyboard.

I chose a technical high school and studied database systems. At 16 I was interning at Metro Istanbul, writing C# for the ERP team and tuning SQL queries.

I didn't know where the path would lead. I knew I wanted to build things.

17. A different world.

At 17, I made a decision that changed the direction of my life. I left.

A different country, a different culture, a different language. Everything familiar was suddenly somewhere behind me.

I began with preparatory studies at Warsaw University of Technology. That move was more than a change of location. It was the beginning of independence.

Learning to create.

Programming became a way of thinking.

I studied Computer Science at the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology. But I wanted more than assignments — I wanted to make things people could actually use.

Databases, backends, web apps, mobile apps, datacenter floors. Every problem became something I could break down.

From code to business.

I co-founded Technox, a hosting and datacenter services platform.

I was no longer just writing code. I built the customer-facing site, WHMCS plugins and the automation behind them — and learned what it means to own a product.

The professional journey.

Five years of enterprise software, from IT analyst to Software Engineer.

SaaS products, frontend engineering, performance work, codebase modernization across teams.

These years taught me how software is built at scale.

Building something of my own.

I didn't only want to work with existing platforms. I wanted to build one.

Compute, networking, storage, billing, DNS, monitoring and automation — a white-label cloud platform, designed and built from the ground up.

The story continues.

Today I work as a DevOps Engineer at Pegasystems.

AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, developer platforms. And the same curiosity that started in a database class in Istanbul.

I still want to understand how things work. I still want to build better systems.
