About

I’m a Coastal Scientist and Engineer with over a decade of applied research experience. I’m passionate about advancing innovative, sustainable solutions for coastal development by combining scientific insight with practical engineering approaches. My work bridges research and real-world application, with a strong focus on resilience, environmental stewardship, and evidence-based design.

Outside of work, I have many interests and passions. I love to travel, explore and cook cuisines from around the world, scuba dive, ride my bike, make music, and so much more. Over the years, these experiences have brought me colorful memories and stories worth sharing.

Through this website, I aim to showcase my professional journey, share technical knowledge and tools with fellow researchers and engineers, and occasionally post more personal reflections.

I hope you enjoy it.

Cheers,
Kadir
