About Me

I'm Kaan, and I hope I don't need give you a short experience summary. Check out LinkedIn for that.

I care about people and problems. Then if time allows tech and solutions. I'd like to see myself as a builder, hopefully of tools that we people enjoy using.

What I Think About These Days

We're living through a fundamental shift. I lay awake at night thinking which companies will survive the AI shift. Who can build the best supporting AI cast of helpers around their most able talent?

I'm fascinated by context-aware systems. That's fancy speak for systems that can stitch together the complete "relevant" information given a question it's never seen before. Information at your finger tips, reliable and at scale.

I recently left my Head of Data Science role to take some time to think. Not because I was unhappy, but because the world is changing so fast that I wanted space to understand where it's heading. I'm exploring ideas, thinking about starting something new, and having conversations that help clarify what problems are actually worth solving.

If you're working on similar questions – or if you think I'm completely wrong about something – I'd love to hear from you. The best insights come from collision with people who see things differently.
