After several years of preparation, he started his own game studio, Viroid Games, in August 2020. He then launched a small puzzle-strategy game at the end of 2020 and is currently working on an ambitious farming simulation game.

In his spare time, he likes reading history (mostly medieval) and science-fiction.

I want to thank my friend and mentor, Gokhan Ercan, for generously sharing his wisdom with me. Also, big thanks to the lovely people at Shmooz for their pleasant snacks, coffee, and most importantly, their camaraderie.
