About me

Hey, I’m Wahid — a Computer Engineering student at Kocaeli University, originally from Tripoli and currently based in İzmit, Türkiye.

I build web applications, backend tools and interactive projects. I’m also building Zurayq Studios, my creative and technology studio, while exploring game development.

I like figuring out how the whole thing works: the data, the logic, the interface and the small details that make it feel good to use.

Outside code, I teach English, learn languages and play games. You’ll find a bit of all of that here.

Founder & Developer

I’m building an independent creative and technology studio focused on websites, web applications and custom software, with room to grow into games and interactive experiences. I work across the interface, application logic and the practical details of bringing a project online.
