I am good at making up new things and Software has been one of the ways for about 17-18 years now. I have mainly built startups and I am all about getting the ship to its destination and having the smoothest journey possible while we are at it. Lately I have taken the roles of CTO/CEO/car driver/coffee maker/wall painter/table builder and many others based on what was needed at the moment. I mainly walk around saying ‘Plan from a higher ground, work in detail’ all day. These days I feel very lucky to be working with such an amazing team with talented, smart and nice people. I had the chance to work with amazing people in my life but this is definitely my best team.
**otuzbeslik.com - CEO ⇔ Founder ⇔ Coffee Maker ⇔ Wall Painter**
otuzbeslik was my personal crusade where I got to build, manage and create a viable business with happy people from scratch and spend COVID swimming in my lovely Aegean Sea in my hometown Izmir while I was at it. Managed business during the days and coded in every possible gap + long nights.
Capacity - CTO
Just did some remote work for a year while I was running the company above
**whoscored.com - Senior Software Engineer ⇒ CTO**
Whoscored is where I grew more as a developer and had the chance to learn from a great Software Architect. The platform started as just sharing football match scores and ended up being the most detailed and mostly visited football statistics website in the world.
Cybersoft - Junior Software Engineer ⇒ Team Lead
This was my first and only serious office job. We were building payment systems for a bank and ended up being the team leader which was mainly going into meetings with bankers and building interfaces. I did however added a very core part of the banks infrastructure in my first week because the change I did reduced at least 3 hours work from every developer and I really didnt want to do it. Left before a year when I realised what I don’t want in life.
Coco - Tiny Software Engineer ⇒ Junior Software Engineer
My first ever role as a Software Engineer was on a rooftop in California, coding 3d with Unity and Javascript under an umbrella with an amazing burrito place under us. Good times.
