Engineering Leader & Musician
I build teams that ship great products.
I also make music that tells stories.
About Me
With 15+ years in software engineering, I've learned that the best products come from empowered teams. Currently serving as Director of Engineering at Cherry, I focus on building high-performing teams that deliver impact.
I co-founded Bonbon Tech and hold a Computer Science degree from Middle East Technical University. When I'm not building teams, I'm crafting songs—because both require patience, iteration, and heart.
"It's us who define our purpose here. So don't do what others say, do what you want."

Music
Music is how I tell stories that code can't express. Each song is a piece of my journey, pressed into sound.
