A short version of me.

Short story

I’m Mohammad — a product-minded engineer based in Istanbul. I work with founders and teams to shape ideas, clarify systems, and build useful products — especially where AI, product thinking, and technical execution overlap.

Six-plus years across React, TypeScript, and React Native. Currently founding engineer at Aitopia.ai. Arc.dev top 2.3% certified. I came up through frontend and product, but the work I love most lives in the seam between “what should this be” and “how do we ship it well.”

What I care about

I care about clarity, leverage, good interfaces, strong reasoning, and building tools that reduce friction instead of adding more noise. I have low tolerance for fake polish and high tolerance for slow, careful thinking when the problem deserves it.

How I work

I work best where product clarity, technical structure, and execution need to meet. I like turning vague ideas into clear systems — defining the real problem, mapping inputs and outputs, understanding tradeoffs, and making the system simpler before making it bigger.

Communication-wise: calm, direct, low-pressure. I’d rather ask one sharp question than send three vague messages. I work in small, incremental shipments and prefer plain words to corporate ones.

Strengths

• Translating fuzzy product intent into clear system maps
• Designing prompt & LLM workflows that stay legible at scale
• Frontend systems with strong product sense (React, Next.js, RN)
• Acting as the bridge between strategy, design, and engineering

Current focus

Right now I’m focused on AI-native product thinking, prompt architecture, technical-partner work, and building Unfog. The visual language I’m drawn to: chaos → control → calm. Quiet, precise interfaces. Wabi-sabi. Breathing motion.

Outside of work

Reading about cognition and systems. Drawing. Long, slow walks in Istanbul. Cooking. Trying to keep my own attention as a serious design problem.
