Live product

Money Visualiser

Co-founder & Full-stack Developer

See details
Problem
Large amounts of money are hard to picture.
My contribution
I co-founded the product and built the full-stack experience, from currency data to interactive 3D scenes.
Result
A live web product with 82 currencies, shareable scenes, and a companion browser extension.

Money Visualiser takes the abstract nature of extreme wealth and maps it into interactive physical space. Handling 82 global currencies required building a complex dimensional database derived from central bank architectural notes. The 3D engine leverages heavily optimized WebGL rendering to cleanly stack hundreds of thousands of individual bills without choking mobile devices. It pushes the boundaries of client-side performance while executing a highly minimalist, luxury aesthetic.

Technical context

  • 82 currencies with central-bank dimensions and live rates
  • Interactive 3D scenes, shareable URLs, and mobile-friendly PWA support
  • Built as a founder-led product with product and engineering ownership

Problem
Wildlife identification should remain useful away from a reliable connection.
My contribution
I built the collection, map, and camera experience and trained a compact species classifier for the app.
Result
RealDex is live on iOS and Android. The 39 MB FieldNet model is released on Android (iOS update pending), with 61.3% top-1 on a 5,077-species benchmark.

RealDex combines wildlife photography, species cards, a personal collection, and a map in an offline-first mobile app available on iOS and Android. I trained FieldNet 1, a MobileNetV4 classifier for 5,077 animal species, to replace the original BioCLIP retrieval model. FieldNet is released on Android; its iOS model update is pending. The 39 MB INT8 model scored 61.3% top-1 accuracy on the documented holdout benchmark, compared with 46.8% for a leakage-free BioCLIP baseline. Model and label downloads are verified together before activation; this benchmark does not guarantee every field photo will be identified correctly.

Technical context

  • AI-assisted species identification with collection mechanics
  • Offline-first mobile product with camera, map, and achievement systems
  • FieldNet 1: 39 MB, 5,077 species; Android release, iOS model update pending
  • Available both on the App Store and Google Play

Live bilingual gallery site

Çağla Cabaoğlu Gallery

Technical Producer

See details
Problem
A contemporary art gallery needed a digital space that serves both current exhibitions and its archive.
My contribution
I worked with the gallery on scope, content structure, implementation, quality assurance, and launch.
Result
A live bilingual website connecting exhibitions, artists, and the gallery archive through a shared CMS.

Çağla Cabaoğlu Gallery represents a major milestone in high-performance bespoke digital spaces for fine art. The challenge was building an online destination that serves as both a high-fidelity showcase for contemporary artists and an exhaustive archive of the gallery's rich history. Built with Next.js and integrated with a custom Sanity CMS layout, the site handles thousands of high-resolution images with advanced lazy-loading and dynamic blur-up states. It ensures smooth, bilingual, SEO-optimized browsing for local and international art collectors.

Technical context

  • Owned scope, backlog, stack decisions, QA, and launch operations
  • Built around gallery workflows, CMS structure, and SEO instrumentation
  • Bilingual exhibition, artist, and gallery archive pages

Headless E-Commerce
Scaffold & Design Phase

CCG Shop

Lead Architect & Developer

See details

A premium, editorial e-commerce platform for curated art and design objects connected to Çağla Cabaoğlu Gallery.

CCG Shop was engineered to elevate gallery-adjacent commerce away from standard storefront templates. By dividing editorial and transactional layers, the frontend utilizes Next.js App Router for dynamic storytelling while fetching real-time stock and checkout pipelines directly from Shopify. Sanity CMS acts as the creative brain, empowering the gallery team to curate collections and highlight artists without code interventions.

Technical context

  • Headless integration linking Sanity CMS for visual storytelling with Shopify Storefront API
  • Tailored for design objects, limited editions, books, and small furniture alongside art
  • Custom checkout integration accommodating localized Turkish payment gateways (iyzico)

Localization QA
Version 1.5.0; store listings coming

Overset

Creator & Developer

See details
Problem
Game translations break in ways a spreadsheet can't show: text that overflows its UI box, suffixes a glossary can't see, and builds that change under the translator.
My contribution
I designed and built Overset: the fit engine, grammar-aware glossary, 25+ checks, 15 file formats, build diffs, and the browser extensions.
Result
Overset reached 1.5.0 in October 2026 as Chrome, Edge and Firefox extensions and a web app, with optional connections to the tools translators already use and no account, analytics or server.

Overset is built around the problems of translating games, which are rarely the words themselves: a label that fits in English spills out of a VR button, a placeholder disappears in a paste, a glossary flags a correct term because Turkish added a suffix. Overset measures every string inside its UI box in the game's font, matches glossary terms through inflection, runs 25+ checks built for game text, and shows exactly what changed when a new build or sheet sync arrives. It works beside the shared Google Sheet in the Chrome and Edge side panel or the Firefox sidebar, writes to it only when told to, and keeps every project in the browser. Optional connections reach Google Sheets, GitHub, Crowdin, Weblate, DeepL and Discord, and optional Claude features use the translator's own API key; both can be switched off per project for NDA work.

Technical context

  • Fit checks in the game's own font: UI boxes, line and character limits, missing glyphs
  • Glossary matching that understands inflection (Kılıç, Kılıcı, Kılıçları) plus 25+ QA checks
  • 15 game file formats and every language games ship in; Chrome, Edge and Firefox extensions and a web app
  • Optional connections to Google Sheets, GitHub, Crowdin, Weblate, DeepL and Discord
  • No account, no analytics, no server: projects stay in the browser
