Objective

I'm Kaan Aldemir. I’m a Software/R&D engineer focused on self-hosting and networking. I ship Android apps and Python GUIs, then make them reachable and safe on real hardware. I studied at Namık Kemal University and I focused on networking and self-hosting safely. I own my on self-hosting solution that I find entertaining to augment and develop. I partner closely with product and speak in data.
