On 5 July 2023, GZT published a profile of me written by Seher Çakmar. The headline the editors chose was: “Burak Bayram became a digital strategist by turning failures into experience.” The full piece lives on GZT; this post is the record of that profile on this site.
The profile argues that reading success only as grades and rankings is too narrow. Finishing primary and middle school at the top of the class, stumbling in high school, graduating through open education, and building things in the field I love all sit inside the same story. It mentions the site I started in ninth grade, the YouTube channel from 2008, computer engineering at Kütahya Dumlupınar University, the Microsoft internship and partnership, software competitions, the channel I opened again, a book on YouTube, teaching on Udemy, and the digital strategist role at TRT World.
The piece closes on Career Talks and this website: being useful to people. Anyone who wants the article sentence by sentence can read Seher Çakmar’s original text on GZT.
