Bio

I am Ahmet Bilal Akcan, 28 years old, a highly motivated web developer. In my free time I spend time with my 1-year-old-boy, cook for my family and friends. I like traveling, photography and sharing a coffee with friends.

I am currently following an intensive Dutch language course at the VU, Amsterdam. Previously I studied architectural engineering but I decided later to use my design skills in software development as I realized I have more fun coding and creating something than anything else.

I constantly push myself out of my comfort zone and as someone who has faced unique challenges as a refugee, I have developed resilience and adaptability. I am person with various interests. I am a life-long learner and a team player who likes to help and bring motivation to the others. I like making meaningful connections with people while brainstorming ideas.
