From machines to software,
the engineer's way.
I moved from mechanical engineering into software. Today I connect fields from agriculture to Islamic sciences, finance to education with a single method: Geometric Reading & Chain Learning.
Fluent in both the workbench and the codebase
My niche is what Naval calls “specific knowledge”: an engineer-founder who understands both the machines and the mindset of Türkiye's analogue farm and industrial SMEs, and can translate them into software. I look at everything by asking how it works and what it connects to.
Engineering & Hardware
A mechanical engineering foundation: gearbox design, strength calculations, mechanisms. Practical solutions you can demonstrate in the field in 30 seconds.
Software & Product
From idea to live product on my own: mobile, web, data, automation. I build several products in parallel and test them with real customers.
Meaning & Method
Islamic epistemology, classical logic, folk poetry, philosophy of science. I read knowledge as chains and look for an equally strong counter-claim to every claim.
6NGen takes its name from the six degrees of freedom of mechanical systems — a nod to the thinking behind all the work here: systematic, multi-axis, grounded in physical reality. The studio makes two kinds of things: engineering calculators and reference tools for the technical community, and offline-first apps for farmers and beekeepers who need software without subscriptions or internet dependency. Every tool is designed, coded and used in the field by the same person.

The engineering desk: calculate, check, decide
From machine elements to electrical, fluids to manufacturing and farm machinery: 36 calculators, reference tables and a calculator that follows you on every page. Each tool shows its formulas and assumptions and checks the result against standard limits.
Physics, explained while it runs
The three below are live and interactive — solved in real time in your browser. Full versions of all simulations are published on their own pages.

Geometric Reading & Chain Learning
A method that joins classical Islamic epistemology with modern learning science. It tests every concept with three questions, then chains it to neighbouring disciplines.
What is it?
Sets the essence and boundaries of the concept — the centre of geometric reading.
What is it not?
The negative definition: the edge that separates a concept from its neighbours. Most misunderstandings are resolved here.
What does it connect to?
The link that ties the concept to other disciplines — the frame of interdisciplinary connection.
In GZ no link in a chain counts as verified until a counter-chain of equal structural quality has been sought — evidence and counter-evidence face the same threshold.
GZ Academy · Book & Platform
I am writing the GZ Method as both a book and a digital platform — in three voices: science, tradition and the author's thesis.
Chain Learning
Thirteen chapters with footnotes, figures and a bibliography (in Turkish). The reading guide, chapters 1–10 and Appendix 1 can now be read interactively on the site; the remaining chapters are coming soon. The platform is freemium: free reading, a one-time Book Pro, and full GZ Academy access by subscription.
Read the book (Turkish)Let's build something together
The work is spread across platforms — products, writing, simulations, video. Email is the fastest way to reach me.
Projects, collaboration, tool suggestions or GZ Academy — just write. I reply in English or Turkish.
