• 2) What is the technological evolution that has marked you most and what will be, in your eyes, a turning point in this field?

  The greatest technological evolution that I have witnessed is the integration of A.I in our daily live s and daily tasks. It has completely changed the tables. As a tutor of Filmmaking, Photography and the digital media, the use of A.I in our fields has changed the playing field. We can create videos and photos just with one text or prompt. Our imagination is no longer an imagination now.

• 3) Explain your expertise, your interest in it and, more broadly, its importance in the computer world.

  I am a tutor of Filmmaking, photography and digital media and computer for me is essential. I cannot actually work without computer. My whole tutoring depends on computer and connectivity with the world.
  
  I have always been a fan and geek of computer and computer tech. I am always experimenting new things, features and shortcuts related to computer.

• 4) Do so-called 'visionaries', such as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg inspire you or do you have other role models?

  People like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg do greatly inspire me because for the fact that they were and are creators.
  
  I am always inspired by people who create something, who think out of the box, who make life easier.
  
  Apart from that, every creator from every genre and field inspires me, everyday!

• 5) Provide a valuable anecdote related to your subject or your days at school.

  I remember I was once studying a subject related to making and shooting news stories for broadcast media and the professor asked me to share my little know expertise with the class. So I stood up and started telling about my knowledge and experience related to shooting and editing videos and news stories.
  
  And my workflow was very different from most of my classmates that they did not knew about the things I was doing. So that made me realize that I am so into my craft that most of the things that I think are very common are actually new for some people. And most of my classmates took inspiration from my experience and integrated my experience and knowledge to their workflow as well. I am very grateful and proud of that.

• 6) What would you say to an uncomfortable person in front of a screen who says that "IT is too complicated"?

  I would gently talk to that person and would tell him the necessity of computer and IT. I would tell that as cars have slowly integrated into our lifestyle, IT has to integrate too. It is only there to make our life easier and faster.
