About

I came to software from hardware.

Which is why I think about a product as a system that has to keep working when one part of it does not — and why Fux is machinery rather than screens.

The short version

What a system does when a part of it fails is the whole job.

I am a computer engineer. I do not trust a happy path: everything you build eventually meets a bad input, a dropped connection or a service that stops answering, and the design is judged on what happens then.

Software is the same argument with faster feedback. A supplier does not pick up. A market feed stops mid-day. A listing disappears while you are reading it. Most of the work in the products here is what happens in those moments, and almost none of it is visible on a screenshot.

I build alone, which decides a lot for me. It rules out anything that needs a team to hold up, and it rules in the things one person can finish and keep running. Artificial intelligence changed that line — work that used to need a department is now something a single engineer can ship.

How I work

  • The problem in one sentenceIf I cannot say what a product replaces in a single sentence, it is not ready to be built. Everything here passed that test before any code.
  • Two at a time, no moreOne earning its keep, one still learning. Anything beyond that gets maintenance and honesty, not attention.
  • Turkish first, then EnglishA product built for Turkish suppliers and Turkish listings behaves differently from one translated into Turkish afterwards. The difference shows up immediately in a phone call.
  • Shipped beats cleverEvery one of these products taught me something the one before it got wrong. None of that would have happened in a document.
