I design and build product-focused software with AI-powered workflows.

I combine product thinking, interface design, and rapid development to turn early ideas into clear, usable digital products.

Portfolio Note

A quieter portfolio about the work itself: what I built, what changed, and where I want to contribute next.

Short introduction

I work across product design and implementation.

I am a Computer Engineering student in Istanbul, building products that sit between interface design, AI-assisted workflows, and practical software development.

My best work starts as a messy idea and becomes something people can actually try: a financial product, a desktop assistant, a communication app, a research prototype, or a small interaction study. I care about the details that make a product feel understandable, not just impressive.

How I work

I think about the product before the interface.

Before styling a screen, I try to understand the problem, the user path, and what the product needs to make obvious.

I can move between design and implementation.

I am comfortable shaping the experience, building the React interface, debugging the details, and refining the result until it feels usable.

I use AI to accelerate work, not replace judgment.

AI helps me explore faster, but I still make the product decisions, inspect the output, and keep the work grounded.

Selected Work

The work carries the story.

I am showing the work through decisions, constraints, and visible product surfaces, not invented numbers. The strongest projects have room to breathe.

Featured project

Dampener

A finance workspace for tracking cash flow, invoices, budgets, forecasts, reports, and team access.

The Problem
Dampener started as a personal finance tracker. As I added forecasting, invoices, workspaces, and imports, the original structure became too small for the product I wanted to build.
My Role
I designed the product direction, built the interface, shaped the feature set, and worked through the dashboard, auth, reporting, and workspace flows.
What I Built
Landing page, login flow, financial dashboard, transaction structure, invoices, recurring items, budgets, forecasting, reports, exports, and business workspaces.
Design / Technical Decision
I moved the product away from a simple tracker layout and toward a workspace model so it could support both personal and team use without turning every view into a separate product.
What Changed
The product became more restrained over time. I removed decorative finance language and made the interface focus on what users need to understand first: money in, money out, trends, and next actions.
Current Status
Active personal product build.

Featured project

Axivoz

A desktop assistant concept for controlling computer tasks through a focused conversational interface.

The Problem
Desktop work often becomes a stack of small repeated actions. I wanted to explore how an assistant could help without feeling like another noisy app.
My Role
I shaped the product idea, designed the assistant atmosphere, and built the preview around a simple command-led interaction model.
What I Built
Assistant workspace, command flow, product language, interface preview, and the visual direction for a voice-first desktop tool.
Design / Technical Decision
I kept the interface concentrated around one command surface instead of spreading the experience across many widgets.
What Changed
The early idea was broad automation. I narrowed it into a quieter assistant that makes task intent visible and keeps the user in control.
Current Status
Prototype direction and interface concept.

Other selected projects

Range without the noise.

These are smaller or earlier projects, so I am presenting them as honest snapshots: what they explored, what I learned, and what kind of product thinking they show.

Social communication platform

VAL

A Discord-like product direction around groups, friends, invites, text channels, voice channels, and notifications.

The work is about product structure as much as UI: keeping navigation, permissions, and communication states clear across desktop and mobile.

Next.jsProduct DesignCommunication

Computer vision prototype

Smart Office Security Camera

A YOLOv5 and Python project that turns camera footage into a real-time alert loop through Telegram notifications.

The useful part was not a dashboard score. It was the escalation path: detect a person, decide whether it matters, and notify someone quickly.

Recommendation logic

User Rating Prediction System

A C++ project focused on predicting likely user ratings from incomplete preference data.

It helped me think about data gaps, pattern recognition, and the product consequences of recommendation quality.

C++AlgorithmsData Analysis

Product research

Health Tracker App Research

A usability and documentation review for a health product where clarity affects trust.

I mapped the user flow and translated the product logic into clearer documentation for evaluation and onboarding.

ResearchDocumentationHealth Tech

Technical research

IoT Research

A research project about IoT architecture, networking behavior, reliability, latency, and security tradeoffs.

The output was a structured technical presentation made to explain complex infrastructure in a practical way.

IoTNetworkingResearch

Experimental game direction

DasaPhase Game Concept

A narrative concept about a surreal school-to-dream-world transition and the mood of moving between those spaces.

This project let me explore atmosphere, pacing, and world logic outside conventional product interfaces.

Selected Experience

Work that taught me how products behave in real life.

2025

Exairon Company

Full-Stack Developer

Worked on an AI-based client interaction platform, fixed product issues, improved user-facing flows, and built documentation so the product was easier to understand.

2024-2025

BAU International Office

Student Assistant

Supported students through registration and academic processes while keeping communication clear and organized during busy periods.

2024

BAU Dental Hospital

Student Assistant

Helped patients understand treatment options and next steps, then coordinated with doctors when patients needed extra support.
