About

Hi there! This is Eren Okka, a level 36 elf hailing from Istanbul. I am happily married to a mermaid and currently residing in Izmir.

I have been working as a freelance software developer since 2012. These days I am mostly building web applications. In another life, I was the science & technology editor of a video game magazine.

I make open-source projects. Some people on the Internet know me from Taiga, a desktop application for us weebs anime enthusiasts.

My main interests in the past decade or so have been linguistics, philosophy and AI. I have a degree in philosophy, but I know nothing.

I like kind people and tranquillity. I dislike business models abusing human nature.

You may explore my blog, projects or pandas. Thanks for stopping by!

Colophon

This is the 4th major version of my personal website:

  1. (2006–2011) Started out on Blogspot. The theme was a mix of Minima by Douglas Bowman and Black Minimalism by Valter Nepomuceno. See the archive.
  2. (2011–2014) My first attempt at hosting my own WordPress website. The theme was based on Skeleton by Justin Tadlock. See the archive or the relevant post.
  3. (2014–2024) Converted to a completely custom static site. See the archive or the relevant post.
  4. (2024–) The theme is based on Sakin, a minimal CSS framework, and the pages are generated using Astro. See the relevant post.
