Hey! I'm Kaya Ercan, a Business Informatics student at Hochschule Worms, currently living in Germany. I'm passionate about building modern websites and web applications, especially where technology and artificial intelligence come together.

My journey into tech started when I was 14 years old, when I built my first website. After taking a break for a while, I recently returned to coding about six months ago, and since then I've been fully focused on learning and improving my skills again.

Today, I combine my studies in Business Informatics with web development in my free time, working on personal projects and exploring new technologies in modern web development and AI.

Outside of tech, I enjoy healthiness and sports in general, and I like learning about startups, innovation, and new ideas that could shape the future of technology.

My Goal

My goal is to become a well-rounded IT professional with strong technical and problem-solving skills. I want to continuously learn new technologies and build products that are useful for people. In the long term, I aim to develop the skills that allow me to work from anywhere in the world while building meaningful digital solutions.

My Passion

I'm especially interested in the rapid development of artificial intelligence and how it can be combined with modern web technologies. I enjoy building things, experimenting with new tools, and understanding how technology can improve everyday life.

What Drives Me

What drives me is curiosity and continuous learning. Technology evolves quickly, and I enjoy the challenge of constantly improving my skills and discovering new possibilities. Building projects, solving problems, and turning ideas into real applications motivates me to keep growing every day.
