With over two decades of diverse engineering experience encompassing air defense systems, game development, augmented reality, 3D visualisation/interaction/design and CAD applications, I have grown from a hands-on engineer to a founder and technical advisor. Over the course of my professional adventure, I have been fortunate to join and co-found several startups in Silicon Valley, Europe, and Istanbul. I currently lead Nopnag Studios as CEO and Co-Founder and serve as an active technical advisor for startups. My area of expertise is transforming creative concepts into scalable products. My methodology blends technical profundity with simplicity to create settings that effectively support the convergence of engineering, management, and game design.
