Community

I help manage the WordPress Türkiye community, organize and speak at WordPress Istanbul events, and mentor developers. Since 2005 I have been translating WordPress into Turkish, including core, plugins, and themes. I also coordinate translation days and local meetups, keep community channels active, and promote practical, accessible, performance minded practices.


What I write about

I write mainly in Turkish about:

  • Architecture notes and real world tradeoffs
  • Performance case studies and debugging stories
  • WordPress internals and reliability
  • Practical uses of AI in development workflows

You can find my writing at karalamalar.net and in various WordPress community spaces.


Currently

  • Maintaining and improving WordPress based platforms for clients
  • Hardening and tuning Linux servers, MariaDB, Redis, and caches
  • Building small tools, CLIs, and scripts that remove friction
  • Experimenting with AI inside daily development and operations

If any of this overlaps with what you are working on, feel free to reach out.
