Hey there, lovely people!
Allow me to introduce myself—I'm Derya Deniz, your friendly neighborhood coder and art enthusiast. I graduated from Boğaziçi University in 2019 with a degree in teaching mathematics. Although my path eventually led me to coding, my educational background has instilled in me a logical and analytical mindset that I bring to my development projects.
A Journey of Creativity and Code 🎨🖥️
At the age of 28, I embarked on an exciting journey to blend my love for coding with my passion for creativity. When I'm not immersed in lines of code, you can find me surrounded by a delightful bunch of 15 cats. Their playful antics provide endless inspiration and joy. 🐱❤️
The Canvas of Artistic Expression 🎨✨
Art has always held a special place in my heart, and I've had the incredible opportunity to showcase my work in both group and personal exhibitions. In 2018, my art graced the walls of a captivating exhibition in Turkey, where I had the pleasure of connecting with fellow artists and art enthusiasts. Then, in 2020, I embarked on an unforgettable journey to Japan, where I shared my creativity in a personal exhibition. The experience was truly magical and allowed me to immerse myself in the rich culture and vibrant art scene. 🌟✨🎉
From Teaching to Frontend Development 👩🏫🚀
Prior to my adventures in coding, I had a fulfilling career in teaching mathematics. In 2019, I embarked on an exciting teaching journey, sharing the wonders of mathematics with enthusiastic students. While I cherished the opportunity to make a positive impact on their lives, I couldn't ignore my deep-rooted love for coding and design. It was in 2014, during a computer class, that the HTML/CSS magic first sparked within me. I knew then that I had found my true calling.
Embracing SheCodes and Beyond 🌈🌍🎓
As destiny would have it, my journey recently led me to the beautiful Netherlands, where I continue to explore new horizons. Joining SheCodes was a game-changer—I've already earned certifications and crafted some awesome projects! With each milestone, I've been able to expand my skills and embrace the world of frontend wizardry. But it's not just about the certificates and projects—it's about the thrill of learning, growing, and connecting with the vibrant tech community.
