About

I live in Seattle and run my own company, Hunter Technologies, where I build commercial software applications. I also take on high-impact consulting projects — short term, surgical strikes with startups solving difficult technical problems. Occasionally, I invest in them too.

Prior to this, I worked at Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a Software Engineer. I have a good amount of experience in payments and security, across both web-based distributed & embedded systems. I'm also well versed in LLM-based coding assistants, CLIs and IDEs.

My roots are in Istanbul, Turkey, where I was born and raised, and where I attended Istanbul Erkek. I did my undergrad in Computer Science at Emory University in Atlanta.

Investments

levels.fyi increased transparency around compensation. I think we should apply the same to managing your own money. The more we share, the less taboo money becomes.
