About

Projects. People. Progress.

I lead complex digital initiatives by bringing people, priorities, systems, and business needs together - from planning to launch.

Over the years, I’ve worn different hats across technology, digital marketing, social media, e-learning, gamification, CRM, and business transformation. I’ve worked across industries, countries, and functions, which taught me to look at problems from different perspectives and connect the dots between business, people, and technology.

Today, I work as a project manager (PMP®), bringing those perspectives together to turn complex plans into coordinated delivery.

I started writing during the pandemic, and this site has evolved with my work - a place to document what I learn, how I work, and the ideas behind my projects.

Based in Istanbul, I’m a PMP®-certified Project Manager open to local hybrid or remote roles and international fully remote opportunities. My background in Management Information Systems gives me a strong systems and process perspective, while International Relations has shaped how I work across stakeholders and teams. I bring experience in digital delivery, Zoho CRM ecosystems, cross-functional workflow improvement, and customer-facing web platforms. Roles and dates are on LinkedIn; my Writing shares how I think about the work behind delivery.
