Now

Hi!

I'm Deniz and I like to program computers. I work as a software engineer and have had the chance to build stuff for amazing companies such as this, this and this and a few others.

This is a now page, inspired by Derek Sivers. Its aim is to provide you with a very high level overview of what's going on in my life. It's hosted at my home office. It's powered by Obsidian and the digital garden plugin
