Personal projects

pixelmorph.io

This service simplifies creation of dynamic/personalized images. In the application, users can create image templates. Each template has a unique URL where query parameters can be modified to alter the image with whatever values have been provided to the query parameters. This could be useful for Open Graph images, social media images, blog article images etc.

modelistan.se

Clothes from multiple websites in one place. Clothes were scraped from multiple websites, processed and then displayed on modelistan.se, where the user could click on an item to view it in its original website. The user can filter and favorite clothing items. Now it is just a demo of what it used to be, but previously each item would lead to where they could be purchased and would also generate affiliate comissions for purchases.

flagga.io

An easy to use feature flags service. Create feature flags in the UI and read feature flag data with an SDK. Not in use anymore, just a demo of what it used to be. Me and a colleague decided to build this after we saw the insane prices of feature flag services when we were looking for an alternative at work.

Languages

Swedish, English, Persian, Turkish, Bulgarian, Spanish

I was raised in a multicultural home where I spoke Persian to my father and Turkish to my mother. Every summer we would go to Bulgaria since my mother is from there. I learned Spanish and German in school but Spanish was the language I was most interested in, so throughout the years I have been practicing it more actively.

About me

One of my major interests are health and fitness. I enjoy learning and optimizing my nutrition and habits in order to perform at my best.

At 15 years old, I discovered Parkour and instantly fell in love. I used it as a tool to challenge myself physically and mentally. The physical limits were nothing compared to the mental limits I would discover during my Parkour journey. When faced with a challenge where failure could lead to serious injury, I learned how to break down the challenge into smaller steps in order to be sure that I could complete the challenge safely. It also taught me that some fears and limitations are self imposed or not as bad as they seem. That's also why I love The Matrix, "free your mind".

Parkour opened up many doors for me, I started getting better grades in school, I dove deep into sports such as MMA and diving (spring board and tower diving, not Scuba diving). Just before starting university, I also started my first business which involved hosting Parkour events such as birthday parties, camps and personal training.

My Parkour business was also what led me to find my love for building systems. During my first summer vacation in university, I decided to build a booking system from scratch and also a business management software which involved automating some aspects of our bookings, employee management and more. I was very proud over the system I had built!

Nowadays I spend most of my time making sure I'm in good shape physically and mentally so that I can perform optimally at work. I optimize my habits and always look for ways to improve, ensure longevity and long term productivity.

I love building stuff and learning about software engineering in my spare time. I've built a few side projects, some of which are listed above, and always adding more!
