About Me
I was born and raised in Istanbul, in a family that valued curiosity, learning, and questioning the world around us. Conversations at home often revolved around understanding how things work, analyzing information, and discussing its real-life impact.
Choosing Economics felt natural to me. I’ve always been drawn to understanding the systems behind everyday life from markets and policies to the choices people make. Over time, my curiosity led me to data analytics, where I discovered the perfect mix of logic, storytelling, and insight.
Today, I focus on uncovering stories hidden within data. I enjoy cleaning, analyzing, and visualizing data to extract meaning and support better decisions. Skilled in SQL, Excel, Power BI, Tableau, and Python, I continue expanding my knowledge in Azure, AWS, and R, while also sharing my projects on GitHub and learnings on Medium
