Technology Executive | Serial Entrepreneur | AI Researcher

With 25+ years of experience, I develop AI-powered business solutions. Drawing from my experience in technology startups, construction management, and international corporations, I now research the intersection of artificial intelligence and human decision-making.

About Me

Entrepreneurial Journey

As the founder and CEO of Sehrikeyif.com, I built Turkey's leading experience marketplace from scratch. Over ten years, we served 400,000+ users and generated $7M in revenue, transforming how people discover and book local experiences.

This journey taught me the power of technology in creating meaningful connections between businesses and consumers. I continue this passion with AI-powered solutions.

Current Focus

Today I lead TVI Group, developing AI-powered business tools that help companies optimize their digital presence and make data-driven decisions.

I'm also pursuing my PhD research at Istanbul Okan University, investigating how AI recommendations compare with human expertise on digital platforms - bridging academic research with real-world application.
