AI product strategy
For founders and AI-native teams
Turning rough ideas into clear product direction, system maps, and implementation plans for AI-native products. Problem first, then flow, then code.

AI technical partner for founders and teams
AI technical partner for founders and teams
building serious products.
I help turn fuzzy ideas into clear product strategy, AI workflows, and scalable implementation — across strategy, architecture, and modern web systems.

01 — ServicesWhat I help with.
Three things I do well, for the kind of teams where product thinking and technical execution both have to be right.
Frontend & app systems
For products that need real interfaces
Thoughtful interfaces and reliable architecture in React, Next.js, TypeScript, and modern backends. Strong product sense, careful technical structure.
Technical partner work
For teams that need a thinker who ships
Working across product, engineering, and communication to shape scope, reduce risk, and help teams ship with more clarity. Best fit when product thinking matters as much as implementation.
02 — Selected workA few projects I’m proud of.
Picked to show how I think — not everything I’ve shipped. Each one was about clarifying the real problem before writing code.
- 2026 Unfog A visual thinking tool that turns nonlinear ideas into structured briefs and clearer AI collaboration.
- 2024 — now Aitopia Founding engineer building AI-native productivity surfaces — chat, agents, and workflow tooling shipped to a real user base.
- 2026 AI Steering Systems Prompt & workflow architecture for teams using LLMs in production — structured outputs, retrieval patterns, evaluation thinking.
03 — How I workClarity before code.
A few principles that shape the way I approach every project.
- P/01Start with the real problem, not just the feature request.
- P/02Define inputs, outputs, and system behavior before implementation.
- P/03Use AI as leverage, not a substitute for judgment.
- P/04Balance speed, quality, and long-term maintainability.
- P/05Keep communication clear, calm, and low-friction.
04 — WritingNotes on AI, products, and systems.
Short essays on AI products, system thinking, product strategy, and learning to build with code and leverage.

How to think about AI products beyond demos
The space between a working prototype and a product that holds up under real use is where most AI ideas die. Here’s a way to bridge it.
-
Why system maps matter more than code snippets
The cheapest way to find a wrong assumption is to draw the system before you write it. A short defense of mapping over coding.
-
Prompt design is really interface design
Treating prompts as APIs gets you halfway. Treating them as interfaces — for both humans and models — gets you the rest.
05 — AboutA short version.
I’m Mohammad — a product-minded engineer based in Istanbul. I work with founders and teams to turn early ideas into clear systems, strong interfaces, and shipped products — especially in AI-heavy workflows and modern web apps.
I care about clarity, leverage, and building tools that actually help people think better. Six years across React, TypeScript, and React Native; currently founding engineer at Aitopia.ai.
