Istanbul, Turkey

Elevated engineering from a developer-driven execution model into a structured, AI-native, productized organization — throughput up 65% while the team grew by only 20%.

  • Architected company-wide engineering standards — component libraries, API patterns, auth flows, Supabase schema practices, and AI integration guidelines — and a repeatable AI integration playbook adopted across every product.
  • Revised the team's design process around agentic coding, lifting frontend development speed by up to 80%.
  • Replaced manual QA with Playwright-based test automation, removing QA as a release-pipeline bottleneck.
  • Built an AI-assisted KPI dashboard system, giving full delivery-health visibility with near-zero reporting overhead.
  • Designed an AI-powered reusable module registry that shortened sales scoping cycles and improved deal conversion.

A read-later app I designed and built end to end: authentication, a Supabase-backed content store, editorial UI, and an AI-assisted delivery pipeline — the same reusability and productization approach I bring to every engineering org I lead.
