Who Am I? – A Curious Developer’s Journey

👋 Here I Am: Muhammed Metehan Yıldırım

Hello! I’m born on February 3, 2000, someone absolutely obsessed with learning (like... really obsessed 😂).
I’m 25 years old and have been working professionally with companies since 2018. But my story started way earlier.


🎮 2013-2014: Minecraft Days

Back then, my friends and I ran our own Faction Minecraft server. Writing custom bosses, building elevators, and fighting anti-cheat exploits was weirdly fun.
But the real joy came from... yes, you guessed it: ComputerCraft, the one and only mod that probably pulled me into programming.

For those who don’t know: you have a computer inside the game, a Lua-based terminal, and even a notepad++ to write code. Whatever algorithm you wrote, your in-game computer actually executed it. It’s pure magic; you’ve got to see a video of it.

// 2013 Metehan
let server = "Minecraft Faction Server";
let favoriteMod = "ComputerCraft";
while (true) {
  console.log("Write Lua code, break blocks, move forwart, repeat...");
}

We built bosses, created elevators, and explored anti-cheat exploits, but the real fun was writing code inside my own Minecraft world.


💡 2016-2017: The First Version of Lucy

Time flew, and I decided to build my first big project: Lucy.
(You can still find its awful one-page source code in my projects section 🤣)

// Lucy v1.0 (2016)
function lucy() {
  console.log("I’m super smart 🤖 but my code is spaghetti...");
}
lucy();

Don’t let the messy one-page code fool you. It actually worked!
Using STT and Arduino, I could even turn off my desk lamp with voice commands...
(see here)


👨‍💻 2018: Stepping Into Professional Life

In 2018, I finally got my first job opportunity.
Since then, I’ve basically lived in front of the computer, spending my youth as a keyboard maniac.

// 2018 Metehan starting his first job
let hired = true;
if (hired) {
  setTimeout(() => {
    console.log("Yes! Got my first paycheck 💸");
  }, 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
  // days, hours, minutes, seconds, ms
}

🚀 Today

Still not tired.
Still exploring new topics every day, still trying to learn something new.
In short, you’re looking at a curious, learning-obsessed madman. 😅

// 2025 Metehan
while (true) {
  learnSomethingNew();
  drinkCoffee();
}

✨ Conclusion

It’s about time I introduce myself to the world, maybe a bit late, but better now than never.
So here I am: Muhammed Metehan Yıldırım.
Endlessly curious, a computer maniac, and hopelessly addicted to learning.
