Hi, I'm Oğuzhan

I write code, build things, play games whenever I get the chance, and love explaining what I know. For me, software isn't just something I do at work; it's the process of taking an idea from scratch and bringing it to life. I also make a point of sharing what I learn from my own projects on YouTube. Here you can find my projects and get a closer look at the world inside my head.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is VectoPos?

A POS/SaaS product we build under ByteCraft that gives restaurants order, table and inventory management from a single panel.

Can I build my own site with Elevare?

Of course! That's exactly what Elevare is for. Whether it's a personal site or a business site, you can build and manage your own site without knowing any code. It's open source, so it's completely free and you can use it however you like. You own and run your site — it may sound like a lot, but the panel is designed to make it easy.

What is SpectraUtils?

An open-source library for .NET applications built for Turkey: Turkish ID, tax number and IBAN validation, name formatting that follows Turkish rules, PBKDF2 password hashing and secure code generation. It installs free from NuGet.
