He has led technical teams as CTO or founder across multiple ventures—including Paket Taxi, Coiny.io, Surge, and his current company adisyon.ai—demonstrating expertise in launching SaaS and consumer platforms. Known for “designing, building and breaking things,” he blends rapid prototyping with pragmatic product engineering to iterate fast and learn from failure.

Based in Istanbul, he often bridges product, engineering and go-to-market execution rather than purely high-level strategy.
