BIO | ALPER ÖZDİL
BORN IN 08.06.1982 IN ISTANBUL ♊️
SPENT ALL MY CHILDHOOD (INCLUDING NOW 🤣) WITH DISCOVERY & EXPERIMENTING.
BOTH ON SCIENTIFIC ANALYTICAL TOPICS & EVERY KIND/STYLE OF ART.
I AM ALWAYS SELF-TAUGHT IN EVERYTHING I DO
I EXPERIENCED ALMOST EVERY MEDIUM IN ART, IN A PRIVATE MIDDLE SCHOOL WHERE I ALSO GOT ART EDUCATION IN EARLY '90s
I WAS ALSO ACCEPTED TO A MUSIC CONSERVATORY AT AGE 6 WITH 100% SCHOLARSHIP BUT LEFT IT AND CONTINUED MY PRIVATE MUSIC EDUCATION AT HOME WHICH ALSO ABANDONED :) AND...
DEDICATED MY LIFE TO SELF-EDUCATE /IMPROVING MYSELF SPECIFICALLY
ON ART, MUSIC & COMPUTER TECHNOLOGIES
WE HAD WEIRD SOCIAL NORMS THAT INSTEAD OF PURSUING OUR DREAMS,
WE HAD TO CHOOSE SPECIFIC PROFESSIONS,
SO BEING A SUPER ANALYTICAL, THINKING TEENAGER,
I CHOSE TO BECOME AN ENGINEER AND GOT MYSELF INTO MY FIRST BACHELOR'S UNIVERSITY PROGRAMME
(THE ONLY BENEFIT WAS, I MET MY BEST FRIEND
WHO IS ALSO MY WIFE & MOM OF MY DAUGHTER)
I NEVER ABANDONED ART, MUSIC & CREATING INNOVATIVE & OUT-OF-BOX IDEAS.
KEEPING THEM AS MY LIFETIME HOBBIES.
FAST FORWARD TO 2005
GRADUATED FROM GEOPHYSICS ENGINEERING
DID NOT CHOOSE TO WORK IN THAT AREA.
COMPLETED SEVERAL COMPUTER SYSTEMS (ENGINEERING) CERTIFICATION PROGRAMMES
ENTERED IBM AS AN IT SPECIALIST IN 2005 AND SPENT MY WHOLE BUSINESS CAREER THERE.
MEANWHILE
IN 2010, I FOUNDED MY ONE MAN INDEPENDENT GAME & APPLICATION STUDIO
GARLIC & MUSHROOM ENTERTAINMENT.
I CREATE CASUAL MOBILE GAMES & APPS FROM TIME TO TIME.
IN 2020 I RELEASED MY FIRST MUSIC ALBUM
SINGULARITY TRANSFORMATION.
A DARKWAVE, AMBIENT, EDM, CINEMATICS COMBINES GENRE-FREE EXPERIMENTAL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC ALBUM.
I HAD TO LEAVE IBM IN 2021.
AFTER 16 YEARS OF THIS SUCCESSFUL CAREER, I ENDED UP BEING A
REGIONAL IT MANAGER & GLOBAL PROJECT MANAGER FOR MIDDLE EAST & AFRICA REGION
THEN IN THE SAME YEAR
I DRAMATICALLY DECIDED TO BECOME A
PROFESSIONAL DIGITAL ARTIST
MOSTLY FOCUSED ON
CHILDREN'S BOOK ILLUSTRATIONS & ROLEPLAYING FANTASY GAME
PROJECTS.
SO FINALLY AT AGE 40, I MANAGED TO FULFILL AND PURSUE MY DREAMS
AND STARTED MAKING MY LIFETIME HOBBIES, MY PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS
IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME I BECAME A STAR SELLER ON ETSY
ALSO IN 2021, I REGISTERED MYSELF FOR "PHILOSOPHY" BACHELOR'S PROGRAMME
BECAUSE I WANTED TO EXPAND MY VISION TO CREATE MORE INNOVATIVE IDEAS FOR CONCEPTUAL PROBLEMS, COMBINING ART & MY PAST ENGINEERING KNOWLEDGE & EXPERIENCE
MY PERSONALITY TYPE IS ENTP, WHICH MAKES ME A NATURAL-BORN VISIONARY.
ADDING ACADEMIC ENGINEERING & PHILOSOPHY EDUCATION INTO THAT MAKES IT MORE POWERFUL IN TERMS OF FINDING SOLUTIONS FOR EXISTING & NON-EXISTING PROBLEMS.
TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE BIG PICTURE IN ITS MOST CLEAR FORM & BE ABLE TO COMBINE EVERYTHING WITH EVERYTHING.
I CONSIDER MYSELF A MODERN-TIME LIVING DA VINCI
IN LATE 2021 I MET WITH NFTs
WHICH IS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR ME TO HAVE A COMPLETE FREEDOM
TO EXPERIMENT & COMBINE MY LIFETIME SKILLS TO CREATE
INNOVATIVE & OUT-OF-BOX IDEAS
IN FORMS OF;
ART
MUSIC
CODING
PHILOSOPHY
SCIENCE
& MORE SKILLS
