Hello I'm a

Web developer

Murat Can Yüksel

I enjoy solving problems.

My work

About me

I'm a self-taught web developer focusing on React.js. I come from a somehow untrodden path in terms of education. You can check me timeline out to see what I'm referring to.
Apart from the technologies I've listed on the right, I also can read the Cyrillic alphabet, can find my way around Russian, Hungarian and Estonian. I'm fluent in languages listed below.
I enjoy postmodern literature, got hit badly by Neuromancer. In my free time, I mostly code, read, cycle, swim, do yoga, meditate.
After getting more comfortable with React, I want to learn Node.js.

My Timeline

2015
Eötvös Lorànd University in Budapest/Hungary

Where I studied Comparative Literature for a year as an exchange student.

2016
Journalist in Brussels/Belgium

After Budapest, I went on to hang out in the European Parliament and get a firmer grasp on how our daily life was being decided on.

2017
Semiotics at the University of Tartu in Estonia

This is the point where I started doing a Master's studies in Semiotics(very briefly, the science of signification, or sign systems studies [But Murat, what's a sign?
-glad you asked that...
"A sign, or representamen, is something which stands to somebody for something in some respect or capacity. It addresses somebody, that is, creates in the mind of that person an equivalent sign or perhaps a more developed sign. That sign which it creates I call the interpretant of the first sign." C.P. 9-v. ])

2018
Marketing in Montauban in France

At this point I wanted to know more about how a small business in the French wilderness was finding its way in a competitive market.

2019
L'Université Bordeaux-Montaigne in France

Where I had the opportunity to perfect my French in the beautiful city of Bordeaux (alongside its world-famous wines).

2020-21
Started learning to code in Estonia=> Turkey

Instead of going for a ph.d, I decided I want to tackle a different kind of challenge. Something that's very in demand, and complicated enough to flex brain muscles daily.
Since then, I'm following the Odin Project's curriculum and try to be a full stack web developer.
