About Me

I graduated from Selçuk University with a degree in English Translation and Interpreting. My training taught me to look beyond literal wording and consider context, tone, terminology, and the person who will ultimately use the text. I have also contributed to Turkish localization work for several games, focusing on natural interface copy and consistent terminology.

My main area of work today is digital accessibility. I test websites and applications with screen readers and keyboard-only navigation, paying close attention to focus behavior, semantic structure, labels, and the clarity of everyday user flows. I aim to report issues in a way that makes them easy to reproduce, understand, and fix.

I also develop practical software with accessibility considered from the beginning. My work includes Python automation, desktop applications, media and transcription tools, and Linux-based web systems. Seyravo IPTV Player is one example of that approach: accessibility and ease of use are treated as core product requirements rather than optional additions.

Translation, accessibility, and software may look like separate disciplines, but they share the same goal in my work: helping people reach information and technology more clearly and independently.
