Hi 👋
I'm a software and product engineer with a background in R&D and product design. I like researching complex domains and turning them into something people can understand, explore or use.
I studied Electrical & Electronics Engineering and spent eight years as an R&D Manager, coordinating grant-funded software projects in retail IoT, cybersecurity and digital broadcasting. It taught me that the real-world context around a problem matters as much as the technology.
Since 2024 I've been building full-stack indie products, from concept and UX through implementation. I also take on research and prototyping work: user research, domain and market research, and interactive prototypes. You'll find it in the Work section below.
I prototype and build products with TypeScript, React and Next.js, and use the Vercel AI SDK with the Anthropic API for agents. I'm drawn to data visualization, cartography and cognitive science, and enjoy working with people from multidisciplinary backgrounds.

Experience
Contracted Work
Yandex Maps — User & Market Research
Yandex
Apr – May 2026
Qualitative user and market research on how people in Türkiye use digital maps and discover places. 25 remote video interviews, synthesized into a research report.
Shadow-AI Governance — Domain & Market Research
Client under NDA

Cross-border Payment Corridor — Domain & Market Research
Licensed payment institution
2026
Discovery for a regional cross-border payment corridor carrying person-to-person transfers one way and business payments the other, so most value nets out before cross-border settlement. Mapped licence scopes, instant-payment and A2A rails, and compliance responsibilities on both sides, and designed a reference architecture for one corridor platform shared by consumer, merchant and partner channels.
R&D Projects
Browser Virtualization Protocol for Seamless Data Security
TÜBİTAK 1507 R&D Programme
2016-2018
Browser isolation is a paradigm-shifting technology replacing traditional cyber security measures by virtualizing browsers in remote servers and streaming only the video output to the user with seamless remote control.
Sales Monitoring Platform for Fast Moving Consumer Goods
Major Tobacco Company
2016-2018
ESM is a retail sales monitoring platform enabling real-time sales data aggregation from legacy POS systems through a low-cost IoT embedded board. Our machine/ software agnostic board empowered us to seamlessly handle live data previously gathered manually from the field, eliminating human error and delayed time cost. I was actively involved in the pilot deployment of 200 devices in major cities of Turkey. My key learning was the significance of the human factor in real-world scenarios and thinking interaction and technology design together.
