1985 yılının güneşli bir Ağustos günü sabah ezanıyla birlikte İstanbul'da doğdu. Çocukluk yıllarını bir balıkçı kasabası olmayan Ortaköy'de tükettikten sonra ergenliğe adım atarak hafızasındaki İstanbul haritasını genişletti. 2000'li yıllarda lisede Frontpage ile başlayan web tasarım merakı 2005 yılında doruğa ulaşarak bu sektöre atılmasına sebep oldu. Çok Dreamweaver eskitti, çok Flash parçaladı. Bir çok kurum ve firma için web sitesi tasarladı ve kodladı. Çalkantılı bir üniversite hayatının ardından (Kocaeli Jeoloji Mühendisliği bölümünden) mezun olduktan sonra 3 arkadaşı ile birlikte katıldıkları 2010 Microsoft Imagine Cup - Sowftware Design yarışmasında Türkiye finaline kaldılar.
Finalde 4. olduktan sonra kendini tekrar eğitime adadı ve Bilge Adam'da Web Tasarım eğitimini Üstün Başarı Belgesiyle tamamladı. Şu
anda Beykent Üniversitesi Yönetim Bilişim Sistemleri bölümünde yüksek lisans yapmakta ve aynı zamanda Yemeksepeti.com'da Arayüz Geliştirme Uzmanı olarak çalışmaktadır.
Html, Html5, Css, Css3, Photoshop, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Flash, Illustrator, Microsoft Visual Studio, E-mail marketing (tasarım & kodlama), OpenCart, Oscommerce, MySQL, Kullanılabilirlik ve Kullanıcı Deneyimi konularında oldukça deneyimli. Javascript ve jQuery alanında eğitilmeye devam etmekte.

Night Life is a currently ongoing animation project which also happens to be my Bachelor work. The animated short follows the story of 2 stars, Altair and Vega, and their adventures through space. The project also involves a form of crowdsourcing in the collection of visual assets via the project website, either by using the provided painting tool or by uploading assets created through other means.
Working with Ken Kidney, Robert McGrath and Mitchell Galavan, I am responsible for the interactivity section of the project, i.e. building the website and overseeing the asset collection process. I will also be assisting in the animation process. The project is due for completion in June 2012.
Thinksaurus is a solo animation/information design project from 2011, in which I was to conceptualise a product or service for use as a creativity and ideation aid. The visual assets were created in Adobe Illustrator and animated in Adobe Flash. The idea, adapted to a smartphone app, went on to be a finalist in the Cork Institute of Technology's "APPrentice" app competition.
Cistin (Irish for kitchen) is a Business Innovation project from 2011/2012 which I worked on with Ken Kidney, Hazel O'Keeffe and Clemens Anzmann. For the project, we conceptualised and prepared a business plan for an electronic kitchen inventory system for both commercial and domestic users. The project went on to be a finalist in the 2012 CIT Prize for Innovation, where we pitched the concept to business professionals and presented a stand showcasing the product idea. My main responsibility in the project was branding and poster design.
Day Display is a 2011 project in association with the Cork branch of the COPE Foundation for the Leonardo Da Vinci Program VET4D Project. In a team with Matthew Corbett, Robert McGrath and Ray Flanagan, our brief was to create a digital media solution to timekeeping and scheduling for people with learning disabilities. Working with the Doras training centre, we created a website and Android application. My responsibility was the programming of the website and app, which went on to be presented at the project's 4th Action Meeting in Chroustovice in the Czech Republic.
"The Short Arm of the Law" is an animation project from 2010 by myself, Ken Kidney and Matthew Corbett. Completed in Adobe Flash with graphics created in Adobe Illustrator, the short animation shows the story of a typical night out for a baby police officer.
For this project I was responsible for the character design and character animation. (I also voiced the baby...)
