Bahadır Taşdemir, software engineer from İzmir. Military-school discipline, a computer science degree, a heavy-metal heart, iron five days a week, two wheels and a drum kit.
The whole package: the code, the iron, the riffs, the road and the shorts. One name for all of it. See also: everything on this page.
“Who built this?” — “Phendork did.”
Who is phendork
Phendork is not just a username. It is a whole person. Bahadır Taşdemir writes software for a living, lifts heavy iron five days a week, plays drums and guitar for the noise, rides motorcycles for the silence, and listens to exactly one band. He lives by the Aegean in İzmir. All of that, together, is phendork.
The build log
Chapter 01, in full
Işıklar Askeri Lisesi — Işıklar Military High School, Bursa. High school and military service under one roof, at the foot of Uludağ. In Turkish, ışıklar means “the lights”. Fitting.
The school anthem
Yağdıkça bu irfan
Ocağında bize nurlar
İman taşıyan kalplerimiz
Azimle çarpar
As light rains on this hearth of learning, hearts that carry faith beat with resolve.Âti için her sinede
Bir şanlı emel var
Feyz ile bütün ülkeye
Şan verdi Işıklar
A glorious hope for the future in every chest; the Lights gave glory to the whole land.Hepimizde vatan sevgisi
Yurt sevgisi vardır
Her geçtiğimiz yolda
Terakki izi vardır
Love of the homeland in all of us; on every road we pass, a trace of progress.Fitness
Five days a week, every week: bodybuilding, weights, progressive overload. Debugging builds patience. The barbell builds everything else. Scroll to load the bar.
Drums & guitar
He plays both, so now you can too. Hit the pads or press A–H. Drag your cursor (or finger) across the strings to strum an open E.
Motorcycles
Helmet on, notifications off. On the coast road from İzmir to Çeşme, the hard problems quietly solve themselves. Your scroll is the throttle, so twist it.
