It started coding in 2005, and as of 2006, it started to sign the works that left its mark on the digital world. He wrote various codes and published these codes on the internet. In 2006, at the age of 16, when he was attending high school, he established a platform carrying television and radio broadcasts on the Internet called “www.canlitvradyo.com” and reached thousands of visitors. In 2007, he has set up Turkey’s first tv series website “www.canlidizi.com“. It reached hundreds of thousands of visitors in a short time.

As the university exams approached, he sold both websites and focused on his education life. Emre Yılmaz came to Ankara for university education in 2008 and graduated with a good average by getting a 5-year education in Atılım University, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, including English preparation.
