Hi again! I'm Murat Erkal.

As you know by now.

I believe coding and teaching are very similar in that both are ongoing learning routines in which seeing the results you were aiming for is one of the most gratifying experience. I love acquiring new technologies and building helpful apps with them. The process of overcoming the challenges inherent in coding has become a true love for me, one that consumes my time and attention almost completely.

I've been fascinated with design for many years now. Conceptualizing ideas and bringing them to fruition of some sort have become a passion of mine.

Also, I live and breathe music. Any time of the day you'll most probably find me with with earbuds in my ears. I also have a great love for creating music, although I am very much an amateur.

As an English teacher, I have had the pleasure of teaching and interacting with many students, and it was an experience that I will always cherish and remember with gratitude.
