About

I am a hands-on engineering leader, entrepreneur, and technology executive with 15 years of experience building software products, leading engineering teams, and transforming ambitious ideas into scalable businesses. My most significant entrepreneurial focus is Zylicon, where I serve as Co-Founder and CTO. At Zylicon, I lead the technology vision, product architecture, engineering strategy, and execution of a globally oriented venture. My role extends beyond technical leadership: I work at the intersection of product, business, innovation, and engineering, helping shape both what we build and how the company grows. I am also the Founder of Hunnes, a software and artificial intelligence company through which we develop digital products, launch new ventures, and support organizations in turning business challenges into practical, scalable technology solutions. Hunnes represents my broader vision of combining engineering capability, product thinking, artificial intelligence, and entrepreneurship under one structure. Throughout my career, I have remained deeply involved in hands-on product development while leading and mentoring engineering teams. I have worked across the entire product lifecycle—from early discovery, system design, and technical decision-making to delivery, team development, operational improvement, and long-term product evolution. My experience spans early-stage startups, growing SaaS products, and enterprise environments across Türkiye, Europe, and the United States. I am most effective in roles where technology is not treated merely as an implementation function, but as a strategic force for creating products, building companies, and generating sustainable business value. My focus today is clear: building meaningful technology ventures, developing high-performing engineering organizations, and creating AI-driven products with the potential to compete globally. — Updated Projects List: Zylicon, Moerpy, Elif, Jazari Jarvis, Arf by Hunnes, BeatStars, Vava.cars, Lingaros.com, Dergilik, Amerikadaniste, Hipposoft, Ortus4c, and some more.
