What I meant to say is: Born in Turkey a little over a quarter of a century ago, I spent most of my childhood and early teens in a tropical paradise called Malaysia and currently live in the murky wetlands of London (oh yes, the weather is that bad thank-you-very-much!). Coding and design both grew out of hobbies that started at age seven, when my Dad brought home an IBM XT instead of a Commodore 64, leaving me to either write my own games or go without (thanks Dad!). My true passions in life are acting and singing, both of which I want to pursue professionally. In between my globetrotting, I got the chance to produce a musical in North Cyprus (Jesus Christ Superstar) and grab a Master of Arts in Film & Video (emphasis Multimedia Design) from American University in Washington, DC. Nowadays, I run my own company in London called "Bits And Pixels", specializing in Flash for web and mobile applications.
