About
I'm a software engineer with 3 years of experience and dual degrees in Computer Science & Industrial Engineering, building applications and scalable systems end to end. I ship full-stack products—from Python backends and agent workflows to Flutter apps and Next.js dashboards—with a focus on UX, performance, and delivery.
As ex-CEO of Solace Technology, I launched two AI-native products (smart home & B2B assistant), leading architecture, ML integration, and Go-To-Market. Previously contributed to MPC wallet and Central Bank's (CBDC) Digital Currency research at TÜBİTAK, and real-time ML pipelines in R&D programs.
I'm seeking a high-impact software engineering role to build, ship, and scale. I combine systems thinking, AI/ML integration, and rapid prototyping to turn ideas into scalable, user-centric software.
