I'm an incoming first-year Econometrics (Ekonometri) student at Bursa Uludağ University — classes begin 28 September 2026 — building toward data engineering: pipelines, contracts, run ledgers, and evidence pages that anyone can open and audit.
My rule is narrow and unforgiving: a project counts only when it has a public artifact, a green pipeline, and an honest limitations section. Where a claim can't be verified, the page says so out loud — including missing scheduled days and synthetic-fixture modes.
The other half of my brain writes renderers from scratch: raw WebGL2 with hand-written GLSL, zero runtime dependencies, plus a UE5 racing sim. Data pipeline or fragment shader — no black boxes either way.
