Hi, I’m Bülent.

I’m a software engineer based in Istanbul. My days move between building software, helping a team do good work, and getting outside for a run.

Work and life.

I’m the Lead Developer at Hardal. Alongside writing code, I care about making work clear, removing bottlenecks, and helping people do their best work.

I co-authored How Product Work Moves, part of Hardal’s public handbook, with Emircan ÜYE. It describes how signals become decisions, delivery, and learning.

Outside work, I’m building Deltaflow, a personal finance project focused on understanding income and expenses.

I studied Computer Teacher Education at Boğaziçi University, graduating in 2019. I also run and row. Some of that is in my running log.
