My Personal Life

I take immense pride in being a father to two wonderful children:

• Nil Dora (9): A curious and creative spirit who loves exploring new ideas.
• Alp Demir (4): Full of energy, always bringing joy and laughter to our home.

In addition to my wonderful children, I share my life with:

• Işıl (29+): A loving and supportive partner who shares my passion.

I am also a passionate supporter of Trabzonspor, a football club that represents my roots and hometown. Born and raised in Trabzon, I carry the values of hard work, resilience, and loyalty that the city instills in its people.

Notable Projects

• beads (local exploration):
  Substantial local work on the beads codebase, on my own branch — not yet upstreamed.
  • Merged upstream v1.0.5 into our branch, resolving 7 conflicts by hand — the fork is now current with the latest fixes/release.
  • Added import.path support and a content-hash “stamp” mechanism to auto-import: bd no longer re-imports unchanged JSONL on every command and supports a configurable import file (greened 3 previously-written but unimplemented tests).
  • Made the terminal check in the list truncation-hint test stubbable, so a deterministic test that always failed in CI now passes (no product behavior change).
  • Diagnosed a failing nightly — root cause was the single-batch Dolt migration’s incompatibility with the new Dolt version — and verified it was already resolved on our branch.
  • Installed Dolt 1.88.1 and bd 1.0.5 from our branch locally and tested it end-to-end.
