About

I’m Ediz, a programmer in Cambridge. I like clean systems, small tools, and running my own infrastructure. Interests: computer science, cryptography, and philosophy — especially Karl Popper’s critical rationalism.

This box serves as my tiny internet home base on a Raspberry Pi. If it breaks, I probably pushed to main.

Notes

“All life is problem solving.”

— Karl Popper
  • Favors small, auditable tooling over black boxes.
  • Crypto over obscurity; keys over passwords.
  • Write, test, automate, iterate.
