Summary
Orhan Hafif is a robotics-focused computer engineer and entrepreneur with 11 years of experience founding and scaling autonomous delivery startups and leading core robotics software. As CTO and Co‑Founder he designed ROS-based navigation stacks, led engineering through a $3M investment, and now advises on cloud‑connected robots that deliver groceries and cargo across real buildings and elevators. He combines hands‑on system design—from low‑level ROS packages and embedded flight control integrations to cloud services—with product instincts that produced the world’s first ultra‑fast contactless grocery delivery via autonomous robots. Based in Istanbul, he has a background in academic research on wireless sensor networks and a track record of shipping prototype-to-production robotics across ground and aerial platforms. Colleagues describe him as pragmatic and detail‑oriented, comfortable switching between simulation, field tuning, and cross‑disciplinary hardware/software tradeoffs.
