I'm the co-founder and COO of Bluedot, a Y Combinator (W23) company that built software and payments infrastructure for EV fleets, acquired in 2026. We raised $5.5M+ and served customers like Rivian, Hertz, Genentech, Duke Energy, the City of San Francisco, and the City of Seattle.

At Bluedot, the market didn't come with clean budget lines, obvious buyers, or established language. We had to make it legible first then build products fleets could actually adopt. That meant turning fragmented charging, reimbursement, and payments workflows into software, and building the go-to-market motion around it from scratch. I led product discovery and enterprise sales across complex buying groups: operations, finance, procurement, drivers, and shaped both what we built and how we sold it.

I grew up in Turkey and moved to the US after college to start a company. I studied psychology and business at Boğaziçi University and later spent time at Nova School of Business and Economics.

Before Bluedot, I built in-car applications for Mercedes, Audi, and Renault, launched a textbook-sharing platform, and co-created TOKTUT, a nonprofit that helped distribute more than 1.5 million meals during the pandemic. More recently, I built DECISION.md, an open-source project about encoding judgment into AI agents.

I'm interested in decision-making, poker, mental health, and robotics. Most of all, I'm interested in how AI and technology get implemented in the real world and the physical economy, and the impact they have on how we live and work.
