Chasing Light
Zeki Erman
I don’t really knowwhere this is going.
That’s usually why I start.

I build things because I want to knowwhat happens if they exist.
Things I chased
Some of it turned into products.Some of it only taught me something.
Pandoo
What does it take to put a loyalty card inside a phone?
Cafes still run on paper stamp cards that get lost at the bottom of a wallet. Pandoo moves them to mobile: rotating QR codes, digital stamps, a free coffee at the counter. Writing the app was the straightforward part; getting it through both App Store and Play Store review was the real education.

Novante Soft ERP
Can a company’s entire day fit into a single workflow?
Quotes, invoices, VAT, stock that decrements the second an invoice is issued, live central-bank exchange rates. A multi-tenant platform designed to replace scattered spreadsheets with software that handles operations in one clean system.

What do thirty years of ink look like on a screen?
My father’s commercial press. Heidelberg and MAN Roland machines running ten million printed sheets a year, and until recently not a single address on the internet. Building their web presence meant first understanding paper weights, machine rhythm, and what the trade actually is.

The lab
Things that don’t need to become companiesto be worth building.
A mobile tracker for brew ratios, grind sizes, and pour history. Built purely out of curiosity months before Pandoo, long before I knew I would be building software for cafes.
A showcase system for auto dealerships, written without a single npm package or external library. Partly because the problem did not require one, partly to see how far vanilla JavaScript could carry it.
Client work
Custom interfaces and web tools built for specific client needs. Closed repositories, but most of my production discipline and edge-case reflexes came out of those deadlines.

A little context
Third-year computer engineering student at Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesi.Yet most of what I know never started in a lecture hall.
It started with: “Can I build this?”
At first, the answer was almost always no. Then it became almost. Then something that worked only on my local machine, and eventually something people actually run on their phones.
I respect that distance. Most of what I can build today, I learned somewhere along that stretch.
