Applied AI engineer · Ankara, Türkiye

I build the systems that make AI actually work.

I build agent platforms, RAG and memory systems, backend services, multimodal tools, and local-first Windows products. AI accelerates the implementation; I own the architecture, constraints, integration, debugging, verification, and release decision.

01 — why me, not just an AI subscription

Anyone can subscribe to an AI. Here's what that doesn't get you.

Architecture

I build the system, not the snippet

I've built a six-role engineering workforce, a typed agent platform, and a local coding agent that coordinate planning, execution, review, and recovery. The value is in the contracts between the parts, not one impressive prompt.

Safety

I make model output safe to use

Typed boundaries, least-privilege tools, deterministic business rules, explicit approvals, and audit records sit between a model suggestion and a real action. Consequences stay outside the model.

Depth

I debug the whole path

I work across models, embeddings, RAG, APIs, databases, browser interfaces, Rust/Tauri shells, and Windows packaging. When a workflow breaks, I can trace it from the user action to persisted state.

Rigor

I ship with evidence, not vibes

I remove important guards and require their tests to fail before restoring them. I also drive packaged applications directly, because a green unit suite does not prove the product works end to end.

02 — selected work

Systems & agents

AI Workforce / AZS

private case study · governed agent platform

Planning, implementation, QA, security, and integration coordinated as one engineering system.

A six-role Python workforce and typed TypeScript successor using isolated Git worktrees, dependency-aware scheduling, bounded repair loops, durable workflows, RAG/memory, budget controls, explicit approvals, auditable receipts, MCP/API surfaces, and independent QA/security gates.

Python · TypeScript · FastAPI · PostgreSQL/PGlite · Ollama · Git worktrees

Project Zero

public releases · packaged Windows tools

Business software where deterministic engines own the consequential decisions.

Published Windows tools for stock, pricing, resale margin, reminders, and accounting. Model suggestions require explicit acceptance; exact-money rules, permissions, offline behavior, audit records, and product-bound demo licensing are enforced outside model output. View releases.

CodeSmith

public source · 191 documented offline tests

A fully local coding agent that refuses to call unfinished work complete.

A Python/ReAct agent on Ollama that plans, edits real repositories, executes in a scrubbed environment, learns from failures, and verifies the result. Its public README documents 191 passing offline tests with no API key or cloud dependency in the suite. Inspect the code.

ARGEVID

private case study · packaged Windows editor

Natural-language editing backed by validated plans and real FFmpeg operations.

Supports propose, simulate, diff, and apply behavior for real cuts, silence removal, captions, audio ducking, and timeline edits. Recorded packaged-binary proof cut 55.666 seconds to exactly 12.000 seconds; thirty undos restored the source byte-for-byte.

Products & apps

ARGE.OS

private case study · shipped desktop system

A local agency operations system built for real workflows, approvals, and persisted state.

A Tauri/Next.js desktop product covering staff and fleet data, shoots, conflict and travel detection, content workflows, approvals, client-facing surfaces, and billing. External publishing stays simulated unless the owner configures the required credentials.

TJFit

public source · live five-language prototype

A multilingual coaching product spanning plans, content, commerce, and community.

A live Next.js/TypeScript/Supabase product prototype across English, Turkish, Arabic, Spanish, and French, with AI plan/chat flows, authentication, content, commerce, coaching marketplace, and community surfaces. Visit TJFit.

Product and client delivery

live sites · independent delivery

Public products and small-business sites taken from implementation to deployment.

Work includes ArgeDijital, İşin Kadınları, SHAMASI, Aura VIP Kuaför, EsnafKit, PazarKit, and selected agency/client delivery. Each project is labelled by its real status: live product, preview, private case study, packaged release, or prototype.

Product Factory compiler

developer tool · deterministic output

One structured specification compiled into buyer-ready business files.

A deterministic Python compiler that produces Turkish-capable XLSX, PDF, text, metadata, claims records, and byte-identical ZIP packages. Independent gates check schema, formulas, placeholders, duplicates, claims, font coverage, and output determinism.

04 — about

I'm an Ankara-based independent AI and software engineer. I taught myself to build by taking products from architecture through integration, debugging, packaging, and deployment.

I use AI heavily, but engineering judgment stays with me. I define the constraints, inspect the running system, investigate failures, and decide what ships. Alongside the work, I study Business in English at OSTİM Technical University on a 100% scholarship; the degree is in progress.

Need someone who ships AI, not just talks about it?

I'm open to remote roles from Türkiye, Ankara-based work, and scoped project engagements. You can inspect the public code, packaged releases, and live products before we talk.

Running a business rather than hiring? I also build one custom automation per client — fixed price, you own the code. See how that works →
