My Journey: From Curiosity to Cryptography
Born in Izmir, Turkey (1986), my path into the digital realm began with a simple fascination: how do video games work? This curiosity, ignited in 2001, led me through QBasic, Visual Basic, Pascal, and Turbo C during high school, laying the groundwork for a lifelong passion for software engineering and secure systems.
Today, I architect cutting-edge solutions spanning ARM64 operating systems, WebGPU-accelerated tokenizers, AI-powered systems, and advanced cryptographic protocols. This page chronicles my evolution from a budding programmer to a seasoned researcher pushing the boundaries of secure communication platforms and high-performance computing.

Current Frontier: LibMessageKit Ecosystem
Since 2023, I've operated as an independent software developer and consultant, channeling my expertise into an innovative, end-to-end encrypted and anonymous messaging application. This involves the open-source development of:
Core Project Components:
- ▶ LibMessageKit: An open-source C library foundation for building secure, E2EE messaging applications.
- ▶ LibMessageKit-NetworkLayer: A dedicated TCP Socket Networking Module for robust communication.
- ▶ SML (Secure Message Layer): The cryptographic engine, implementing DoubleRatchet and MLS protocols.
The core library is implemented in C with WebAssembly integration for seamless cross-platform compatibility. Server-side infrastructure leverages LXC for virtualization, NFTables for firewall management, and NGINX. Secure communications are ensured by LibTLS (OpenBSD) and cryptographic operations by Libsodium, including support for PQECDH.
"Across my 23-year journey, I've relentlessly pursued the art of secure digital communication. From web and mobile to advanced cryptography, AI, and blockchain, my passion lies in architecting solutions that are not just innovative but fundamentally secure and efficient."
