I’m a software engineer who loves building things from the ground up, fast, clean, and reliable. I studied Computer Science at Bilkent University and at the National University of Singapore, where I explored everything from algorithms and systems to software design and AI.
Along the way, I gained hands-on experience through multiple internships, from global teams like IBM and NTT Data to fast-paced startups, which shaped how I think about building and scaling real-world products. During my time at university, I led the ACM Student Chapter and served as a Microsoft Student Ambassador.
Since then, I’ve been part of two incredible journeys, from helping MobileAction grow into a global-scale product to building Workmate from the ground up. I’m obsessed with shaping early ideas and turning messy problems into simple, practical solutions that make people’s lives easier.
Outside of work, I’m usually on a tennis court or spending time with my cat,Leyla 🐾.
Founding engineer at Workmate Labs, an agentic AI productivity startup backed by Kleiner Perkins, the OpenAI Startup Fund, and Greylock Partners. Building LLM-powered executive assistants for scheduling, email, and workflows.
Backend engineer at MobileAction, which was a fast-growing ASO and Search Ads intelligence startup when I joined. I helped scale its backend systems and shape products that are now used by top mobile teams.
