Art & Research
Between 2012–2023 I was an academic researcher (MA, PhD, postdoc) in human-computer interaction design. I published 30+ scientific papers and 4 open source software projects.
Operating as an "academic entrepreneur" I co-founded the first design-focused lab and research center in Turkey, and raised $4M to fund research groups in Turkey and Sweden.

About
I'm a Turkish/Swedish designer and engineer, currently based in Sweden. I build web apps with startups as a business-literate technical designer.
My background is academic research and R&D in human-computer interaction design, with focus on engineering and qualitative research.
I enjoy learning, and earned degrees in mechanical engineering and economics, a PhD in human-computer interaction design, and certifications in AI, finance, Design Thinking, product strategy, innovation management, and yoga. Currently focused using these skills to build and deploy.
I publish ideas and conversations on my podcast, website, and YouTube channel Design Disciplin.
