Software Developer | Startup Founder
Experience
Co-Founder & Developer
Erapor · Istanbul, Turkey
2025 – Present
- Co-founded and built a multi-tenant B2B SaaS platform that turns unstructured voice and text notes from field teams into structured, searchable business insights — web and mobile clients over one shared API, serving organisations with role-based permissions across 17 business domains.
- Built the mobile-first reporting flow with speech-to-text capture, and the managerial dashboard centralising field communications, visit tracking and automated reporting.
- Work on AI-ready data and knowledge base architecture — structuring organisational knowledge so that retrieval and automation become possible at all. Operational state and semantic search held in one layer rather than a document store bolted onto a database.
- Helped architect the platform around enforced contracts: explicit API schemas with permission gating and pagination rules, validated automatically in CI so drift between backend, web and mobile cannot reach production.
- Own parts of the cloud infrastructure — containerised services, managed databases, object storage, identity and secrets management on AWS.
- Selected into BTM Istanbul (Bilgiyi Ticarileştirme Merkezi — ranked the world's 3rd-best startup hub by UBI Global) and Bilişim Vadisi, Türkiye's largest technology development zone; reached the final jury stage of the TÜBİTAK BİGG 1512 programme through Sabancı University's SUCool incubator, presenting to the TÜBİTAK panel.
