Selected independent work

I use small products to test ideas quickly: ship the useful core, watch real behaviour, then decide what deserves more investment.

STRATEGY GAMELIVE BETA

Hex Conquest

The idea: compress the tension of a strategy campaign into short browser matches. Territory, supply collapse and dice-driven operations create depth without a long tutorial. Live on the web and itch.io.

DAILY GAMESLIVE

Daily sport quiz games

The system: one reusable daily-game engine, adapted for football, basketball, Formula 1 and cycling. Deterministic puzzles, progressive hints, offline play and shareable results turn niche knowledge into a repeatable format.

DECISION TOOLLIVE

IntuitFlip

The insight: your emotional reaction to a random result can be more useful than the result itself. IntuitFlip turns that moment into a deliberately minimal decision ritual—without an account, backend or AI dependency.

Professional record

I am strongest where product decisions, delivery pressure and technical constraints meet.

What I do

  • Turn ambiguous needs into an executable product scope.
  • Align engineering, security and business stakeholders.
  • Run roadmaps, backlogs and delivery without losing the product intent.
  • Prototype deeply enough to test the decision, not merely present it.

Where I have worked

My work has included product and project delivery involving Invicti Security, Sony Electronics, KoçSistem or Digital Agencies.

Application security · SaaS · Enterprise delivery · AI-assisted products · Software Development

Education

Computer Science and Engineering, Sabancı University.

MA in Marketing Communications, Istanbul Bilgi University.

About

I turn complex problems into clear product decisions and ideas into software people can use. I enjoy connecting the bigger picture with the practical work of making something useful.

My background in computer science and marketing shapes how I work: understand the people, explore the technical possibilities and make the tradeoffs clear. Across 12+ years in software and digital products, I have brought teams and stakeholders together to move from an ambiguous brief to a focused plan and a working product.

Building independently keeps that perspective grounded. From security tools and data products to strategy games and everyday utilities, each project is a chance to test an idea, learn from real use and improve what matters.
