The long story.

Every role since 2018: what I owned, what I shipped, and the numbers I can stand behind.

  1. Fullstack Software Engineer · Cleatus.ai

    Apr 2026 — Jul 2026 · İzmir · Onsite

    Agentic AI platform for government contractors, with 4.5M+ documents processed. I built its monetization surface and the tools sales and support worked from.

    • Owned the support and account-executive surface: an admin dashboard with funnel views and “worth-a-call” lead scoring, and correct AE assignment across the signup and trial lifecycle.
    • On the freemium rollout, wrote and ran the database migrations and built the mail event layer, tier-aware billing, and credits.
    • Built and instrumented the lifecycle email system on Redis-backed idempotency controls, the source of truth for send health, preventing duplicate sends across concurrent cron runs. The pre-trial reminder series converted 17.9% of reached accounts to trial.
    • Designed a company-wide conversion-tracking layer: every outbound email on one server-side event and UTM schema, with PostHog as the single source of truth for funnel attribution.
    • Drove feature decisions from observed user behavior, via PostHog MCP, rather than intuition.
    • Shipped 76 production changes in 10 weeks with a 0% revert rate across a pnpm + Turborepo monorepo, and resolved 35 customer-facing fixes routed from CS, sales, and engineering.

  2. Founding Engineer · Clubworks

    Feb 2025 — Feb 2026 · Istanbul · Remote, contract

    Production data ingestion platform for a B2B SaaS: location-based pricing data from multiple providers, scraped and refreshed on a schedule.

    • Architected the platform on FastAPI, Celery, Redis Streams, and PostgreSQL, with parallel scraping, retry logic, and high-throughput task orchestration.
    • Re-architected the pipeline from sequential BullMQ processing to Celery and Redis Streams, cutting a full scrape from 45 minutes to under 3 (15×).
    • Built the full stack: a Next.js frontend, an Express and Prisma backend, and Python worker services, containerized and deployed on Railway.
    • Scheduled daily, weekly, and monthly runs with dynamic queue feeding, keeping data fresh with no manual intervention.
    • Built internal tooling to debug and monitor workers, queues, and ingestion state, shortening troubleshooting and making the pipeline observable.
    • Onboarded and mentored a junior engineer onto the codebase.

    • Co-led the platform’s UI/UX overhaul, redesigning test, settings, and dashboard flows with component patterns later reused across other PXCH products.
    • Ported the Chrome-only browser extension to Firefox and Safari, resolving cross-browser API differences and packaging constraints.

    SendShort

    Short-form video editing and publishing, built for speed.

    • Led the UI overhaul end to end: layout, video editor architecture, and core interaction patterns, for a more stable and consistent editor.
    • Designed an in-layout helpdesk adopted across all company products, increasing support usage by ~63% and improving onboarding flows to reduce friction for new users.
    • Cut unnecessary re-renders and reactivity cycles in the editor through memoization and render optimization, improving perceived responsiveness.
    • Finished broken and half-built editing flows and designed a new onboarding flow, reducing drop-off in the editing sequence.
