Generalist Software Developer, Engineering Student

I define myself as a generalist software developer, focusing mostly on web and linux tech. I am also an engineering student in Turkey. My main goal on this blog is to share my hard-earned findings to 'problems' I've faced along my journey. It covers anything from new JS framework to fixing DNS issues.
