"“Glad Our Paths Crossed Early”"

I met Engin during our first year in university sipping tea in the cafeteria and talking about software projects. From that day, I saw something different in him: clarity in his ideas, a huge curiosity, and a genuine love for teaching others. Over time, I learned so much from him not only technical skills but also about patience, sharing, and integrity. In every new project or code snippet he shares, I can still sense that hunger to learn from his student days. He doesn’t just pass on knowledge; he lifts people up and values growing together. Even in the business world, when we talk about his successes, he always says “we,” highlighting his teammates. What I admire most about Engin is his energy and positivity; he has this aura that makes people around him feel more confident. He has the rare ability to simplify complex topics in a way that everyone can understand. Every conversation with him leaves me with something new, and it constantly keeps me motivated. Having a friend like Engin is precious, both in challenging times and in moments filled with success. I truly feel lucky to know him
