Ahmet Yusuf Birinci

Go-first systems engineer. Distributed systems, cryptographic protocols, embedded and automotive security. I break things I own and write down what happened.

I write in two languages because I think in two languages. Technical work goes out in English; the personal posts are Turkish and I'm not going to translate them.

This site is one Go binary. Content is Markdown embedded at build time, markdown-to-HTML happens once at startup, and requests are pure static serves. No database, no CMS, no npm, no cookie banner, because there are no cookies.

Writing about

• Security teardowns: "I broke X, here's how."
• Go systems design: concurrency, actors, state machines.
• Infra war stories: real outages, stripped to the one lesson.
• Turkish B-sides: personal, occasional, in Turkish.

This site runs on

Go stdlib, go:embed, a distroless image. Zero third-party runtime dependencies. The whole product is the binary.
