Hi! I am Halil.
A software engineer based in Poland, running my own software consultancy out of my home office.

Programming has been my hobby since early childhood, and my profession for more than 15 years (though these days I orchestrate an army of agents that do it on a whim, and I’ve moved up the stack). Along the way I’ve lived in Estonia, the UK, Turkey and now Poland, as an expat engineer or to pursue higher education.

I’m a bit obsessed with good quality software. From the first idea through UX, an architecture that scales, the MVP and the pipelines, to feedback from real users, then round again until it’s right. I love every phase of it.
The last ten percent is my favorite part.

I believe in teams where people lift each other up and everyone takes the lead in their own area of expertise. I try to be the force multiplier who gives everyone the juice to flourish. Great software is still a team sport; it’s just that in 2026, some of my teammates are agents.

I build side projects out of curiosity. The old ones were typed character by character, in evenings and weekends I had to negotiate with my SO. Now I dictate them to my agents from my phone, and our evenings stay ours.

My Kindle is full of articles I find interesting on the web (mostly Hacker News nowadays), books about my profession, and sci-fi.

I’ve recently picked up golf, and I enjoy playing nine holes in the afternoons.

I’m a father of two beautiful girls, and I love them endlessly.
