Turning chaos into clarity β one product at a time.
π§About Me
I am a Product Manager focused on solving complex, real-world operational problems through geo-intelligence, routing, and data-driven systems.
I started my career on the field, working hands-on with automation and industrial systems β building a strong understanding of how products behave in real environments, not just in theory.
At Evreka, I contributed to the digitization of end-to-end waste management , sustainability , and recycling operations. I worked on systems spanning IoT-based field devices, asset and fleet management, and digital waste tracking β transforming fragmented, manual processes into structured and measurable workflows.
Currently, I work in the geo-intelligence, routing, and ETA prediction domain at Getir, focusing on ETA prediction , routing optimization , and courier behavior analytics . I contribute to systems that process high-volume geospatial and operational data to improve decision-making, operational efficiency, and predictability at scale.
My work sits at the intersection of product, data, and real-world operations β with a focus on turning operational complexity into scalable, reliable, and data-driven systems.
