Products I designed and built. Some are live, two are about to launch.
We help independent gyms in Spain win new members, with the result guaranteed in the contract. I built the software the company runs on.
The website of an academic publisher whose books are free to read. I built it and I keep it running.
A platform where researchers submit their papers and editors take them all the way to publication. Built for CIBES Research Centre.
An iPhone app for people with ADHD. You say what's on your mind, and it breaks it into small steps you can start right away.
Paste a product link and get finished video ads in Turkish and English, each one scored before you spend money on it.

BuiltA three-round Turkish word game for the browser.
BuiltA hospital bed alarm that warns a nurse's phone when a patient starts to get up. Built in three days with Penn State Abington students.
BuiltMy graduation project: a fitness app built by a team of three. I led the mobile app.
BuiltI'm Akın. I grew up in İzmir and now live in Liverpool, where I've just finished my master's in Artificial Intelligence at Liverpool John Moores University.
I started coding because I wanted to see if I could build the ideas in my head, and I still work that way: get a first version working quickly, put it in front of real people, then make it solid.
For my dissertation I tested whether big AI models are better at catching phishing emails written by AI. They weren't. A simple model that can explain its decisions caught them more reliably, with fewer false alarms. I'm now turning it into a conference paper with my supervisor.
Outside work I do improv theatre.
