Open to remote contract work

I build and run AI agent systems and full-stack products, solo.

Most of what I make is deployed and running in production — and a lot of it keeps running without me watching it. I taught myself the stack and I ship, fast.

About

I study physics at Bilkent and taught myself everything on the software side — mostly by building things at hours I should have been asleep.

What I keep coming back to is systems that run themselves: agents that set their own goals, pipelines of models that check each other's work, infrastructure that costs almost nothing to keep alive. I work solo and fast — I'd rather have a rough thing running tonight than a perfect plan for next week.

I also care about the parts nobody screenshots — auth, moderation, data protection, not falling over at 3am. That's the difference between a demo and something people actually use.

Things I've built and shipped

sirschrodinger.com

full-stack · live

My personal site, built like a small OS: Google OAuth, an admin panel with live analytics, and an LLM chat bridged to my own model. All on Cloudflare Workers, D1, R2, Pages and a Tunnel.

papers-net & karpathy

multi-agent · running

Two agent systems I built and keep running. papers-net drafts research papers and verifies its own work across four model families to catch hallucinations; karpathy is an autonomous agent that sets its own goals and checks what it finds. SQLite state, systemd timers.

Pythonagent orchestrationcross-model verify

A free lecture-notes platform for my university — 2,500+ materials indexed, plus a pipeline that auto-generates clean notes. No ads, no paywall, real users. Built on Cloudflare.

Trading stack & conformal-bandit

quant · paper

A Freqtrade bot, a Flask/Plotly dashboard, and a conformal-prediction position sizer. I score signals with permutation/walk-forward tests and drop what doesn't survive — and wrote it up as a paper with an honest negative result.

marketplace · live

A move-out marketplace for Turkish university students, shipped solo: student-email verification, a subdomain per campus, automatic NSFW image pre-screening, and KVKK data-protection plumbing — the unglamorous parts most side projects skip.

AI · voice · local

A voice mock-interview tutor I built to drill technical interviews: it speaks questions, transcribes my spoken answer with local Whisper, and an LLM grades it on five axes, then reschedules weak spots with spaced repetition. FastAPI, runs on my own machine.

A 3Blue1Brown-style walkthrough of one of my cosmology papers (React-Three-Fiber + KaTeX), plus mathematical-physics drafts I'm writing with my own tooling — Pinney–Ermakov, smooth-classification, BSC.

hande & warmap

creative · paused

hande — an interactive storytelling app (Vite + React). warmap — a conflict-mapping and forecasting platform with hash-committed predictions (on hold while I focus elsewhere).
