Sinan İŞLEKDEMİR, author, coder

Hello! I’m Sinan. I haven’t had much time lately to update this site properly. I do have a blog where I occasionally write to clear my mind. I write quite a bit, but most of it ends up scribbled on notebook pages. Sometimes, when I find the chance, I post some of it on the blog — though honestly, I often get lazy about it. Maybe I should ask someone else to post these pages for me. Who knows?

My first book, Bir Bar Hikayesi (A Bar Story), was recently published. It contains fragments from the worst year of my life — hopes, needs, and the compassion I longed for. It’s a kind of journey through the mind. If you’re someone who pays attention to the spaces between paragraphs and can pick apart sentences carefully, I have a few aphorisms I might teach you. If you prefer just reading straight through, I hope it still offers a few enjoyable hours.

I’ve been working in software for about twenty years now. Currently, I live in Finland with my wife and our amazing, incredibly smart seven-year-old daughter. Life just rolls on.

If you want to reach me, you can write to sinan@islekdemir.com, or find me on Instagram or LinkedIn. I’m not on Twitter or other platforms.
