Flagship Build
Co-founder & Full-stack Developer

Money Visualiser

See Details

A 3D money visualisation tool that turns abstract amounts into life-sized bill stacks across 82 currencies.

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

RealDex

See Details

A Pokedex-style wildlife app where users photograph real animals, identify species, and build a personal field guide.

RealDex evolved from a simple field guide into a gamified, offline-first wildlife collection system. The core engineering challenge was embedding robust machine learning models natively directly into the mobile package, circumventing the need for constant cell reception deep in the wild. This was achieved by designing a custom compilation pipeline that ports the 344MB BioClip foundation transformer model directly into highly optimized, hardware-accelerated CoreML (.mlpackage) and TensorFlow Lite (.tflite) binaries. We prioritized an immersive map interface and a local-first SQLite architecture to ensure snapshots and achievements register instantly regardless of network latency.

Technical Context

  • AI-assisted species identification with collection mechanics
  • Offline-first mobile product with camera, map, and achievement systems
  • Custom on-device AI compiler pipeline porting 344MB BioClip models into CoreML/TFLite formats
  • Available both on the App Store and Google Play

Technical Producer

Çağla Cabaoğlu Gallery

See Details

End-to-end technical production for a bilingual contemporary art gallery platform and archive.

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
  • Credibility project that anchors the art-tech side of the portfolio

CCG Shop
Headless E-Commerce
Lead Architect & Developer

CCG Shop

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)
