Ahmet.

Self-taught builder — Diyarbakır, Turkey

I build the tools I can't afford to buy.

I'm 14, in high school, and I'm not going to university — I'm going to build. Games, AI tools, and a screen recorder that makes cheap hardware punch above its weight. No ecosystem, no funding, no safety net.

01

The short version

At one point my school's FTC robotics team was sitting in 3rd place — with a robot built from almost nothing, a gripper that could barely hold a thing, and none of the materials the other teams took for granted. We didn't have their budget. We had whatever I could make work.

That's the pattern of everything I do: hand me scraps and I'll still get further than I have any right to. I taught myself to build from zero here in Diyarbakır — no tech scene, no meetups, no mentors, no one around me on this path — because I needed things to exist, so I figured out how to make them.

Robotics

Head captain of both my school's FLL and FTC teams — I know how to make a thing myself and lead a group to build something none of us could alone.

FIRST Lego League
~15th

Built the entire robot and wrote all of its programming myself.

FIRST Tech Challenge
3rd at peak

Led the build and climbed to 3rd on barely any materials before settling mid-pack.

What I'm building toward

A capture-to-publish toolchain for people without the gear: SharpCast to record and upscale, autoedit to cut it into a finished video, and a released game of my own to prove the whole pipeline in public. I'm building the setup I never got to have.
