Writing software that solves concrete problems and scales with real users!

</aside>

I am Oguz Kirmizi, a college student majoring in CS and Physics.

I build software and engineering systems across computer science, physics, and robotics. My work encompasses backend development, data analysis, and control systems, spanning from production software at Siemens Mendix, Java, SQL, and Python, to automation and feedback systems for autonomous robots utilizing PID control and computer vision.

I design and implement systems that meet technical requirements, function reliably under constraints, and support clear product goals. Whether developing simulations in MATLAB, writing backend services in Python or Java, or optimizing data and control pipelines, I focus on achieving measurable results, maintaining code that is both efficient and maintainable, and providing clear reasoning behind design decisions.
