At Foundance, I joined as its first engineer and helped scale the platform to 15,000 users. I built across its product surfaces, then added AI and Web3 systems as the platform grew.

I designed Elara, a production AI agent that lets founders and advisors use a chat interface to complete product workflows. I also built its continuously updated RAG knowledge system and reduced response latency by 30% by moving suggested-prompt generation off the main reply path.

I built Investibility to evaluate project materials, teams, and on-platform traction, returning structured scores and feedback. Its event-driven scoring pipeline includes retries for pending requests, and I integrated score refreshes into the admin dashboard.

My work at Foundance also covered backend architecture, AWS infrastructure, and on-chain systems. Before that, at Aselsan, I developed signal-processing and optimization algorithms for antenna arrays and trained PyTorch models for signal classification.
