Hello! I am Irmak and I am the communicator of this group. I hope you like what we have in this repository. :)

Some personal info

This is my 7th semester in Bogazici University. I am studying computer engineering here and I am really excited about pretty much everything related to computer science. I have fallen in love with algorithms and data structures while I was in high school, and found myself preparing for the computer science olympiads of Tubitak. I attended some camps, met amazing people and decided that this was what I wanted in life as a profession.

After I started university, I realized that this was the best decision I have ever made. I started to discover new technologies and learn new programming languages. My favorite was Android programming, maybe because I was spending a lot of time on my phone and being able to create my own apps was a great motive. Yet, I never stopped solving algorithm challenges after I decided to focus on Android.

I had the chance to do 2 internships at 2 different Google offices. I worked on some Android projects and improved myself a lot. I learned that it is not only about knowing how to do something; it is more about knowing how to do something that can be easily replaced or improved by others, keeping things tidy, always documenting and always unit testing.

Life is more than programming

As much as I love programming, it never was the only thing that I love. I always thought that music is one of the best things in life. I enjoy classical music a lot and try to play some little pieces on piano. I promised myself that if I ever manage to play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata movement 3 at some point in my life, I will buy myself a grand piano. Just a dream. :)

I don't think I am talented when it comes to literature but I love reading. So much that I said why not and started a second university on Turkish literature. Who knows, maybe I'll do some language processing in the future and this all will come together.

Little note

I adore owls (really amazing creatures they are) and tyto alba is the latin name for barn owl/white owl. That's why. :)
