Thanks to my background in design consultancy, I've had the privilege of being on the forefront of tech, integrated into international teams, working alongside exceptionally talented individuals as a core member of their design team, on fascinating subjects from AI to Robotics.
Intrigued by tricky problems, I love challenging myself and continuously growing. An ever optimist about the future and I believe in technology's pivotal role in it and I want to leverage my passion for problem-solving to create solutions that address complex global challenges.
Hailing from Istanbul, now living in the mountains of France, I value the analogue side of life as much as my fascination for cutting-edge technology. Whether I'm exploring the backcountry through the snowy peaks or immersing myself in the latest advancements in tech, I constantly seek balance and inspiration in both worlds.

Hans Lee
CTO & CO-FOUNDER
“He was able to streamline and simplify many of the more complex parts of our APIs into understandable interactions that make our product successful with our customers.”
Burak has a special talent for delivering super-clean, well thought out, clear interfaces that make a product shine. He took our initial implementation from an acceptable "early stage" feel through multiple iterations, some large and some extremely subtle, where he created a persona for the whole company through the user interfaces he designed.
One of my favorite times of the week was getting to see new renderings of the future product that he was creating. The level of detail and thought was impressive (And necessary for the complex things we were doing) and he was able to streamline and simplify many of the more complex parts of our APIs into understandable interactions that make our product successful with our customers.
