Hi there! I like building tools that solve real problems — right now, that means working on Jetic, a fully cloud-native iPaaS with zero vendor lock-in, as part of a small and nimble team at Datagrate.

I wear many hats across engineering, product, and go-to-market: writing code, scoping features, running demos and POCs, and delivering technical trainings to teams at Fortune 100 and 500 companies.

Before this, I worked at tech companies in Germany and my native Turkey, across industries like pension insurance, employee benefits, device management, and publishing. I’ve been lucky to collaborate with top-tier firms across Europe and beyond.

I live in Leipzig, Germany, where you’ll usually find me on a gravel bike (Strava), riding around the New Lake District, or watching something great with my screenwriter wife — a mix of carefully chosen films and, yes, my tenth rewatch of The Office (Letterboxd). I also train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, hold a WSET Level 1 in wine, and am always on the lookout for quiet cafés tucked into the corners of interesting cities.

I’m deeply curious about the future of generative and agentic AI. If you’re into similar things, feel free to follow me on X or connect on LinkedIn.
