About me

const kursat = {
  name:    "Kürşat Yılmaz",
  role:    "Founding Product Architect",
  builds:  ["MVPs", "Live Products", "Mobile Apps", "SaaS", "AI Workflows"],
  based:   "Istanbul, Türkiye",
  archive: "100+ shipped projects, mostly solo",
  origin:  "Wrote my first BASIC at 10. 11+ years, still shipping.",

  superpowers: [
    "Connect user flows, data models, APIs, UI, payments, notifications, launch strategy",
    "Simplify messy problems into clear product decisions",
    "Break blockers fast — unclear scope, API gaps, time pressure don't stop delivery",
    "Own the product end-to-end: design → code → ship → measure → iterate",
    "Train and ship young engineers from zero to production-ready"
  ],

  looking_for: [
    "Senior Full-Stack Developer",

Origin

// Eleven years. Every layer of the stack. Still shipping.
const origin = {
  age_10:     "First lines of BASIC, copied from a magazine",
  teens:      "Web, mobile, servers — whatever I could get my hands on",
  since_2019: "Went solo. 100+ products shipped end-to-end since",
  today:      "21. Founding Product Architect — kernel to pixel, design to deploy",
  also:       "Trained and shipped the next generation of builders into production",

  belief: [
    "Code is a craft, not a job title",
    "If it can be imagined, it can be shipped",
    "Every layer of the stack is fair game",
    "Solo by choice, full-stack by craft",
    "Multiply the team — every engineer I ship is leverage that compounds"
  ]
};
