An LLM demo takes a week. Running it unattended against real customers is the rest of the work: what the model is allowed to do, how you know when it's wrong, and what it costs to run. I build that part, along with the backend it sits on.

Recent work for WellPrepped: two platforms and their infrastructure, built solo in under eight months.

• Company brain: Stripe, scheduling and messaging behind one queryable interface Now building

Eren built both of our platforms and the infrastructure under them on his own, in under eight months. The operations agent now handles about 95% of the student operations work our team used to do by hand, and our hosting bill is down 80%. He told us plainly what would and wouldn't work, and what he shipped has kept running.

Contracts and invoices go through my US company: USD, ACH or wire, W-9 on request. I work East Coast hours and travel to meet clients on-site.

About

I grew up in Miami and Raleigh, then Istanbul, and moved to Antwerp for a computer science degree built around making things more than studying them.

I started programming at 14. One of the first things I built was an order tracking system for a business selling in Growtopia, a small online game, out of a Google Sheet and a Discord bot. That is still the work I like most: a business doing something by hand that software should be doing. I came to WellPrepped through a close friend who wanted the company to run better, and ended up building both of its platforms.

People I work with say I'm easy to work with and that I challenge every idea, mine included. I don't call something done until I've gone looking for the cases where it breaks. That takes longer than shipping the happy path, and it's why what I build keeps running.

Away from the keyboard I shoot film, mostly nature when I travel, and lift weights.
