Not every project has to be a finished product. Some begin with a real-world need, others with curiosity, and many with the question “Could we do this better?” Here is a small selection.
Environmental clean-ups: Underwater, coast, land
Taking part in environmental clean-ups — underwater, along the shoreline and on land — matters to me. Volunteer groups, shared effort and practical contribution are at the heart of this work.
Some of these experiences appear below as photographs and YouTube videos from different days. Their original titles are preserved.
From shorelines and the field
A selection of photographs I shared from the field. They document the landscape and visible litter, without claiming a specific clean-up result.

Open on YouTube ↗A search-and-rescue drone concept
I’m working to turn an idea born from a search-and-rescue need into a project with a concrete design and hardware plan. This is a developing concept, not a claim of an operational, field-proven rescue tool.
A book and author search engine
The idea is to create a locally managed searchable catalogue of books and authors, instead of relying on a live external query for every search. The current approach uses Open Library data as a source.
A public demo or source-code link may be added once it is appropriate to share.
Notes from the field
Rather than maintaining a busy blog, I occasionally document technical problems and the lessons learned from troubleshooting them. The first notes are available in Turkish.
A missing PHP function
A short troubleshooting note about exif_imagetype() on a web server.
Testing application restrictions
Why testing software restriction policies safely matters.
