HUMAN · REV. 2026
One human, two firmwares: by day I stress-test car lamps, by night I build my own circuits.
Major versions of this human, in chronological order.
First boot in Bursa. 100% organic hardware, zero documentation. Started the way all the best universes do: tiny, loud, and expanding fast.
Disassembled every remote control in the house to see what was inside. Reassembly success rate: ~60%. The leftover screws have never been explained.
Hormone drivers installed themselves overnight. The voice module switched frequencies without notice, the hair subsystem went rogue, and every log from this period is best filed under "undefined behavior".
Discovered that math and physics are cheat codes for the real world. Picked the electron path — a few fuses were harmed in the making of this decision.
Several romantic connections established; all eventually timed out. Learned a lot about handshake protocols, unexpected disconnects, and why you should never promise 100% uptime.
Read nonstop — cosmology, biology, philosophy — slid into a full ontological crisis and wrote a book to debug it. Concluded that one very loud instant plus a few billion years of iterative refactoring explain this entire changelog just fine, no external project manager required. Several builds from this era were compiled under heavy alcohol influence; all have since been deprecated.
Started Electrical & Electronics Engineering at university. First solder burn, first all-nighter, first "it works but I don't know why".
Taught robotics & coding to kids for 6 months. They asked the best questions and broke things faster than any test rig.
Internships at a power utility and an automotive R&D lab — then graduated as an EEE engineer.
Military service: the one update you can't postpone forever. Learned discipline, very short haircuts, and that "hurry up and wait" is a universal protocol.
Joined a Tier-1 automotive supplier as Embedded SW Test & Validation Engineer. HiL rigs, CAPL scripts and 9 OEM programs at once — brands you'd recognize from the highway.
Nights and weekends became a studio: Meschy, an AI camera, this site — and a growing pile of prototypes.
