About

Hey, it’s Onur.

I’m an engineer by trade and a self-taught programmer.

This blog is a collection of:

• Various projects and interests: languages, math, physics, thinking, etc.
• My research on strength training and sports. See my Instagram channel Nerd on Bars @nerdonbars.
• Solutions to some technical problems I haven’t found elsewhere, so I felt obliged to write them down.
• Notes from my academic past. These are dense in math and from a period when I was not worried about catering to the average internet reader.

I’m currently do Engineering and Research at TextCortex, helping companies organize their knowledge and make it securely accessible and actionable across the organization. My role involves doing research, designing the software architecture and developing new features. I have helped TextCortex scale its users more than 2 orders of magnitude since the time I joined.

Some other things:

• My Twitter, where I only post important updates.
• I’m a contributor at Manim Community. I created the Manim Voiceover plugin.
• Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering from METU
• Master’s in Computational Mechanics from Uni Stuttgart
