Experience
Sardis Labs, Inc. Oct 2025 – Present
Founder & Lead Engineer Dover, DE (Remote)
- Shipped non-custodial payment and control infrastructure on Base and Tempo mainnet, with 70,000+ SDK installs across npm and PyPI.
- Built the policy engine, REST APIs, multi-language SDKs (Python, TypeScript, Rust), smart-contract flows, and a signed, append-only evidence ledger.
- Integrated MCP, OpenAI Agents SDK, Vercel AI SDK, Coinbase AgentKit, and x402/MPP across agent and payment workflows, with a pre-execution authorization and approval layer.
Solana Foundation May 2026 – Present
Core Contributor, Machine Payments Protocol (pay-kit) Open Source
- Merged 29 PRs into solana-foundation/pay-kit (the Foundation’s Machine Payments Protocol SDK) plus 3 into solana-foundation/x402-sdk.
- Authored client libraries in Go, Swift, Kotlin, Lua, PHP, Ruby, and Python (client, wire signing, interop adapter), and built a cross-language interop harness over a simulated network.
Jotform Jan 2026 – May 2026
Backend Engineer Intern Ankara, Turkey
- Built jot-logger (Go CLI/TUI) for production log inspection; adopted company-wide and reduced a 10–20 minute incident-debugging workflow to roughly 30 seconds.
- Shipped a real-time coding interview platform (React + Monaco Editor, PHP/WebSocket) now used in Jotform’s hiring process.
Nokia Sep 2025 – Dec 2025
AI & Backend Engineer Intern Ankara, Turkey
- Rewrote a stalled RAG indexing pipeline by instrumenting queue topology and splitting IO-bound vector-store calls from CPU-bound chunking into distinct Celery worker pools.
- Replaced LangChain chunking with a custom Rust engine bound to Python through PyO3, delivering a 6× end-to-end speedup.
- Indexed 300K documents in 3 weeks instead of the projected quarter and avoided a six-figure GPU spend; migrated storage to MinIO for stateless Kubernetes pods.
Nokia Jul 2025 – Aug 2025
Network Engineer Intern Ankara, Turkey
- Automated temperature anomaly monitoring across thousands of OLT/ONT devices, replacing manual checks with real-time alerting.
- Refactored legacy scripts (Bash, Perl), cutting disk I/O via stream processing and removing hard-coded paths.
Projects
YULA OS · TypeScript, Next.js, Hono/Bun, Convex 2025 – Present
- Built an open-source autonomous AI agent with its own harness: a proactive callback loop, self-learning, and MCP tool use.
- Wrapped each action in a deterministic control layer: classified by reversibility, signed, audit-logged, and gated for approval, undo, and replay.
AgentGit (agit) · Rust, Python, TypeScript 2026 – Present
- Built an auditable, content-addressed version-control layer (diff, rollback, traceability) for automated workflows and state.
- Rust core (SHA-256 DAG, Merkle JSON diff, AES-256-GCM) with PyO3 and napi-rs bindings exposing Python and TypeScript SDKs.
Capsule · TypeScript, Provider Adapters 2026 – Present
- Built a domain-aware control-plane interface for sandboxes, jobs, services, edge functions, database branches, machines, and preview environments.
- Modeled provider capabilities with explicit support levels, policy checks, and execution receipts; adapters across Docker, E2B, Modal, Cloud Run, Cloudflare, Vercel, Neon, Kubernetes, Lambda, and more.
