Hello, I am Mustafa
I am a Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft, living in Seattle, WA. I received my B.Sc. degree from Computer Engineering Department at Bilkent University and my Master's Degree in Computer Science from Max Planck Institute for Software Systems.

At Microsoft, I had opportunities to work on a wide variety of projects, including Windows, Xbox, MSN.com, Microsoft Store and Microsoft Graph.

My previous research focused on programming languages (PL) theory and parallel computing. I applied formal proof techniques from PL theory to prove correctness of a fault tolerance system in distributed parallel computing setting.

I enjoy learning foreign languages. I also follow and try to educate myself in the fields of computer science, logic, semantics, psychology (especially psycho-lingustics), linguistics, cognitive aspects of learning, astrophysics, and science in general.
