About me

I'm Ender — a software engineer from Turkey, living in Vienna for the past three years. I studied computer engineering, worked as a senior developer at a major bank and a telecom company back home, and now I'm at a logistics startup here.

But the real story is what happens outside of work. My head is constantly buzzing with ideas, and I can't help but chase them. I built NeonLoops — a visual AI workflow platform — in three weeks, start to finish, production-ready. That's the kind of pace AI enables now, and it still blows my mind.

I'm building MysticLab together with my wife Mihrimah — an AI-powered dream interpretation app. She originally built the first version herself. Now we're rebuilding it together — she's both the product mind and a developer, and I jumped in to help shape the next version. It's our favorite project to work on together.

My workflow has changed a lot. I write less code than I used to. Instead, I architect, validate, and ship. AI does the heavy lifting; I make sure the output is solid and the product makes sense. The bottleneck isn't typing anymore — it's taste and knowing what to build.

When I'm not building, I lift weights, stretch (a recent discovery that changed more than I expected), and go on long walks with Mihrimah around Vienna. I follow my instincts — whether it's a new project idea, a sport I want to try, or a random curiosity. Not everything sticks forever, but the joy of exploring and creating is what makes life rich.
