Welcome misafir¹!

I’ve been writing weblogs since November 2015 about Linux, FOSS, bare-metal servers and cloud computing. If you are addicted to FOSS, follow me with the RSS link. Currently not an active place, but I have planned series of actions to make the site live, again. I often don’t update my ABOUTME page for long time periods.

System Administrator

I’ve worked with small to medium size usually from single node systems to “serverless” services to provide internal or customer faced services. Mostly systems are in major cloud providers. As an administrator, I need to make sure that everything is in good shape with automation tools like Ansible, Terraform or shell scripts.

Practices

There is no such thing as DevOps Engineer title, but yeah, I might be one of them. I follow practices such as The Twelve-Factor App and Principles of Chaos Engineering to improve the user experience.

Coding Journey

Started with Python 3 with reading a book about Programming with Python in early 2014². The book was published in Turkish. I opened a GitHub account because I was curious about open-source projects. Failed a few times when I wanted to contribute on some interesting open source projects.

I met with Ruby after Python, PHP and Symfony thanks to Ruby on Rails, and I fell in love with it due to its modules and Don’t Repeat Yourself principle. After that moment, I looked Docker and Kubernetes, and I used them in production as well as in my personal projects.

During my employment, education and research at CSU, Channel Islands, I developed various software. You can find this list on CV but resume.

Too Long; Didn’t Read

I use Ruby.

Amateur & Licensed Road Cyclist

Since this COVID-19 pandemic started, I developed some skills and interest. I keep my journeys on Strava. I am not looking to win a grand-fondo because I do cycling for fun. I do love long distance cycling (Randonneuring) which many of them for future dates.

Amateur Photographer

Well, I did share photographs on a social media account, but this is not the case any more.
