Biography
Tolga Taştan
I’m Tolga, an engineer with over 15+ years of experiences in wide range of designs.
My journey as a tech-geek started with the Commodore 64 that my dad bought when I was 8 years old.
While my friends wanted to play games with me on Commodore64, I read the Basic64 programming language book and wrote our family’s phone book program, in which you saved the changes on tape. Nobody told me to do this in 1990. Nobody in Turkey knew anything about Bill Gates or Steve Jobs.
I met IBM PC in 1998. Even now I can’t believe what I did with the BAT files. Since no one has experience in using computers, I designed BAT files that create a boot options for people’s usage needs with gui.
I have a father with incredible foresight who helped me a lot in choosing my career. After that I got my bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
I think that it is not enough to just write about my experiences to describe my abilities When what I want to do makes me curious and excited I do it eventually.
Experiences and skills can be taught, personality is innate. I prefer to keep learning, keep challenging myself, and do exciting things that interest me.
