Metehan Alp Saral grew up with a passion for computers and art, which are among the most valuable legacies of his childhood. He could never have imagined how important these passions would become later in life. In 2013, Saral began setting up game servers with friends. This experience allowed him to experiment with codes learned through research, marking his first steps into the world of programming. Over time, a desire to create a website emerged, prompting him to seek resources to achieve this goal. He began working with PHP for the first time. By the end of 2016, a project called Glynet came to life. Glynet became a social media platform developed in PHP, and Saral's passion for this project grew immensely, leading him to continually improve it day and night. A few months later, he released the public beta version. In 2019, Saral joined the electric vehicle team at Altinbas University, where he developed skills in various areas such as embedded systems and telemetry. He participated in projects involving electric vehicles, electric autonomous vehicles, medium-altitude rockets, and unmanned aerial vehicles, contributing to his personal and project development in these fields. From 2021 to present, Saral has pursued an undergraduate degree in the Cinema and Television department at Arel University. His curiosity and interest in diverse fields continually drive him to learn new things and improve himself. In 2022, Saral took on the direction and production of multiple music videos and short films in the realm of art. His projects include "The First Smoke," released in 2022, and "Sevi" and "Echoes of a Dream," both released in 2024. These works further illustrate how significant art is to him.
