Sirac Simsek

I’ve always been fascinated by technology. It all started with hardware when I was a child, I was taking apart computers, fixing them, and figuring out how they worked. That hands-on curiosity laid the foundation for crafting and innovating transformative solutions through technology.

Over the years, I transitioned my focus to programming, starting with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, and eventually mastering languages like Python, Java, Typescript, and PostgreSQL. Along the way, I dove into frameworks and tools like React, Next.js, React Native, Tailwind CSS, and Node.js, giving me the ability to build everything from sleek user interfaces to scalable backend systems. These skills allow me to transform ideas into functional, impactful applications.

I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at the University of Essex, where I’m combining academic knowledge with hands-on projects. Outside of university, I’m immersed in building side projects and expanding my knowledge. My focus is on creating innovative solutions that solve real-world problems, whether it’s through advanced web applications, data-driven platforms, or tools powered by machine learning.

I’ve also expanded my work into cloud technologies like AWS and Firebase, enabling me to design scalable and efficient applications. My passion is creating technology that connects with people, building tools that are innovative, intuitive, and make a real impact.

As an entrepreneurial creator, I view every project as a chance to innovate and push boundaries. By embracing modern technologies and tackling bold ideas, I’m motivated by the opportunity to craft products that create meaningful impact. Whether it's building machine learning solutions with TensorFlow or delivering intuitive user experiences, I bring passion and focus to every challenge I take on.

My ultimate ambition is to blend creativity with technical expertise to create startups that inspire innovation and leave a lasting impact. By harnessing advanced technologies, I strive to build solutions that tackle real-world challenges, enhance lives, and push the boundaries of what's possible.
