Summary
Mehmet Baytaş is a Senior Design Engineer based in Sweden with 12 years of multidisciplinary experience combining product design, front-end engineering, and human-computer interaction research. He holds a PhD in Design, Technology & Society and has a track record of taking AI, XR, and novel interfaces from research prototypes to shipped 0→1 and 1→N products for startups and studios. Currently building Attio’s product experience, he also runs independent ventures (Design Discipline, Weatherlight) and has taught industry-focused UX and front-end courses at Hyper Island and universities. His background spans raising multi-million research funding, founding a university research center, and creating practical athlete biomechanics and creative AI tools for professional teams and creators. Fluent at bridging academic rigor with product delivery, he often leads both strategy and hands-on implementation—design, code, and experiments—within the same project. An uncommon mix of mechanical engineering, economics, and creative practice (he’s also an arranger and former band CTO) gives him a systems-minded, human-centered approach to complex product problems.
