01 About

Senior software engineer at Crea Inc., based in Ankara and working remotely. Eight-plus years of professional experience across embedded software, distributed backends, and AI agent platforms.

My current focus is the backend and orchestration layer behind production AI systems: multi-agent platforms, RAG pipelines, and voice. The thread across each role has been careful system design and simple interfaces.

02 Experience

Senior Software Engineer

Crea Inc. · USA, California (Remote) · 07/2021 – Present

Senior engineer focused on backend systems and AI agent platforms. I design and ship event-driven services on AWS — Lambda, API Gateway, S3, SQS, RDS, and CDK — supporting high-traffic production environments.

My recent work has focused on AI: multi-agent systems, RAG pipelines, and voice AI experiences in production. The work spans the surrounding system — orchestration, observability, latency budgets, and failure modes.

I have also acted as a technical point of contact on some projects, translating requirements into workable designs and contributing to system-design and code-review standards.
