As founder of BrokerGuard and previous founder roles, he pairs product instincts with technical leadership to move MVPs toward early adopters and investment. He also brings academic depth (PhD-level study in computer science) and a history of shipping language-specific NLP tools, including multi-language accent correction and large-scale Turkish text analyzers. Practical, metrics-driven, and curious, he blends research-informed approaches with pragmatic engineering to turn complex language problems into automated workflows.
