Who I am

I start companies, and I write the software they run on.

Most of my work sits where engineering meets entrepreneurship. I like owning a product from the first database table to the moment a real user touches it, and everything in between: the architecture, the interface, the pitch, the first users.

Since 2024 I have built products in very different places: a university social platform, voice AI for phone lines, an AI email workspace and a field operations tool. Each one taught me something. Today all of it goes into one company.

Cover story · 2026 / Present

Derbent

AI security infrastructure. An independent security and context layer, so people and companies can use advanced AI models without opening their sensitive data to them.

The problem

The most capable AI models run outside your walls. Using them today often means handing over the very data you most need to protect.

What we are building

An independent security and context management layer between you and external models. The same layer is meant to keep AI agents in check: what they can see, and what they are allowed to do.

Where it stands

In development and not publicly available yet. This is the direction, not a feature list.

Second place
with Derbent
Webrazzi Arena 2026

Second place at Webrazzi Arena 2026.

We took Derbent to Webrazzi Arena 2026 and finished second. For a product that is still in development, it was an early outside check on the problem we chose to work on.

How I build

Four areas, one person moving between them.

Engineering

I write the systems myself, from the database to the interface, and I keep them running after launch.

Backend · Frontend · APIs · System architecture · Databases · Deployment

Artificial intelligence

Applied AI inside real products: models wired into workflows, agents that act, voice that answers the phone.

LLM integrations · Agent systems · Voice AI · Applied machine learning

Product

Deciding what to build and how it should feel. I prototype fast, design the flows and cut what does not earn its place.

Product strategy · User experience · Prototyping · Design · Product development

Entrepreneurship

The parts of a company that are not code: the business model, the pitch, the first users and the people you build with.

Starting companies · Business models · Pitching · User acquisition · Partnerships

Day to dayPython / FastAPI / React / Next.js / PostgreSQL / Docker / PyTorch

Background

Computer engineer by training. Founder by habit.

I study Computer Engineering at Gazi University. Since 2024 I have been building my own ventures across education, voice AI, productivity and operations, and writing software for clients along the way.

I'm a technical founder: the code is mine too.
