About Tayfun Sertan Yaman
I was born in 1980 in the beautiful nature protection site of Igneada, at the North-Western Coast of Turkey. I grew up and followed my primary education in this area. When I was 14 years old, I moved to Istanbul to enter a high school in computer science in Tuzla, and lived in Istanbul for more than 11 years. I also got my university degree on computer science in Istanbul, at Marmara University, and afterwards I worked in Istanbul for four more years. In that period I participated in some international projects in Northern Africa as well. Then my professional career brought me to the Netherlands in 2007, where I have been living ever since.
I earn my living as a software programmer, mainly in a computer software called Microsoft Dynamics AX and .NET (For CV please see my LinkedIn). My greatest hobby is photography, which I have been doing since my university days. I started my hobby in the early 90s, when I was a student at Marmara University, after buying a Russian Zenith 12XP SLR film camera from a market stand. I got my first photography training on shooting black&white photos with that camera. I like film photography a lot and sometimes I still do it, but I also have a special interest in new technologies and digital photography. When I moved to the Netherlands, my budget allowed me to buy my first digital DSLR, a Nikon D40, and I got so excited about the advantages DSLRs has over shooting with film SLRs. Since then I am shooting in digital, mostly nature, wildlife and travel photos.
My interests besides photography are web design (like this website) mobile programming, psychology and meditation, Argentine tango dancing, and scuba diving.
In 2015, I decided to build myself a website in order to share my work and knowledge with others somewhere outside popular social networking sites. I have programmed this website on raw HTML5, CSS, Javascript, ASP.NET Razor and MySql, also using some open source libraries and resources which I have listed below. The source code of some of this website’s areas, such as the photo gallery, are available in my GitHub profile and free to use.
I hope all of you enjoy my work and benefit from what I share on this website.
