About Me

This is my family.

Hello, I am Mustafa Saraç. I am a technology enthusiast, software developer, designer, and musician. I have been working in web design and development since 2000. I completed my masters degree in Information Technologies at Sabancı University.

Throughout my career, I have worked for leading media companies in Turkey. I conducted UX tests, designed web interfaces, and played an active role in bringing them to life. For a period, I led a frontend team of five people. Currently, I am living in Cologne, Germany, and working as a front-end developer for the TOMRA Sorting Digital team.

Outside of work, I love being productive. I have been playing drums as an amateur for 15 years and have been learning to play the cajón for the past year. I am actively involved in a music band, and we give small concerts.

I value personal development. I keep a daily journal, enjoy reading books, and like to research time management. I have a special interest in Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) and conduct experimental work in this area. I even developed and published my own note-taking application called Phinote for a short time.

I enjoy sharing my ideas. I write articles on my personal blog at irregular intervals and create content for my YouTube channel. Additionally, I share my discoveries related to my areas of interest through a weekly email newsletter.

Additionally, I am deeply fascinated by the advancements in artificial intelligence. I eagerly follow the latest AI technologies, open-source projects, and potential opportunities in this field. I am particularly excited about discovering how AI is transforming our daily lives and the business world. Keeping up-to-date with AI developments has become a passion of mine, and I am constantly exploring ways to incorporate AI capabilities into my own projects.

I love cycling, walking, and thinking while walking. I have noticed that during these activities, my mind opens up, and I generate creative ideas. I use talking to myself as an effective method for solving problems.

My wife Ayşegül, my son Jerfi, and I have been living in Cologne since 2020. This new life experience has given me the opportunity to encounter different cultures and ways of working.

I have a tendency to think quickly and respond promptly, which can sometimes be a weakness. However, my determination to finish a task once I set my mind to it is one of my favorite qualities.

I always enjoy sharing my experiences in technology, design, music, and personal development, and learning new things. If you ' d like to get in touch with me, you can reach me through my social media accounts or via email.
