Imagine this: me at 14, completely obsessed with coding. I was reverse engineering games to create custom cheats, tinkering with microcontrollers in ASM, writing random programs in BASIC, and even hunting down website vulnerabilities for fun. Basically, I was on a relentless quest for tech thrills!
Fast forward to 16, and bam! My online TV app went viral, racking up 1M+ downloads in the early days of ADSL. I'll never forget that feeling of watching the download counter explode and the ad money start rolling in – that's when I knew without a doubt that tech was my calling.
University in Istanbul was a whirlwind and I was pulling double duty. Working and studying at the same time. But I still found time to cook up Kolay, an HR SaaS. After 7+ crazy years, $6M+ in funding, countless all-nighters, and more code than I care to count, I finally exited in early 2023 with $1M+ in ARR, a team of 60, and a legion of 2000 customers.
Now, I’m based in London, pouring my energy into Portday.
Portday is a cutting-edge operating system designed for port logistics. Powered by advanced AI, it seamlessly optimizes the entire port call process—from initial offer to final disbursement accounts. Think of it as an AI co-pilot, proactively anticipating needs and reducing workload for port agents.
