In this article, we want to introduce Alper Bulut, our Full Stack Developer. When Alper joined our agency as a WordPress Engineer in December 2021, we asked him a few questions to get to know him a little better.
This is Alper Bulut
Alper lives in Istanbul, Turkey.
How would you describe yourself?
I am a curious and optimistic person. I love learning new things and discovering new places in each area.
Also, I can easily ignore something that is not good for me in my life. I believe that everything will come together in time.
I like to make travel plans and spend almost all of my savings on them – contrary to the traditions in Turkey.
How do you spend your spare time?
I like to travel to new places that I have never seen, especially the places that people lived a long time ago. I also like to visit museums that display historical items from this period.
I’m a very social person, that’s why I prefer to spend my free time with my close friends.
When I’m at home, I like to watch movies and TV series with my wife (favorite category: Dystopian movies), play video games with friends, and read books.
What is important to you?
Spending my time on valuable things is very important to me. Traveling around the world, having friends from there, and learning as much as I can while I am healthy and have the energy to do so are the most important things I can consider.
Alper’s way to Syde
I have a bachelor’s degree in mathematical engineering from Yıldız Technical University. During my studies I also worked there as a web developer.
I then worked in different companies, but decided to only work remotely. Life in Istanbul without remote work is so hard.
So I started working for a company that offers a page builder product for WordPress. After working there for 2 years, I decided on Syde. I am sure that it was a good decision for my entire career to join Syde.
I want to become good at my job, so the place that I’m working has a big role in that. If you are a WordPress developer, then you probably know Syde and its community. I also knew that if I worked at Syde, I could become better at my job.
Also I thought that I will have a lot of colleagues from different countries. I think that’s excellent because I like getting to know different cultures and people. I believe in a limitless world!
Questions to Syder Alper
We asked Alper a few personal questions to learn more about him:
What was the last book you read?
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson
What was the best advice you ever got? Who gave it to you?
“Come and join international companies!” That is what a friend of mine said because working as a developer in Turkey unfortunately doesn’t mean so much. By the way, it was Çağdaş who also works at Syde…
What do you like most about your city?
What I like most about my city is that all of my friends are here.
What is the best meal you can cook on your own?
Noodles and quesadilla
You get stuck in the elevator for many hours and there’s a song playing in a continuous loop, what song would that be?
Three Little Birds by Bob Marley
By the way: The Syde Team is 100% remote
This enables us to bring together the best minds in the world in one team. You want to learn more about our way of working and the Syders? Take a look inside Syde!
