Hi, I'm Ayça*
Originally from Istanbul and now based in Berlin, I’ve lived in Germany for over a decade. I hold an MSc in Information Engineering and have over 14 years of experience in software consulting, product management, and project coordination. What truly excites me is the process of designing intuitive products, optimizing workflows, and finding creative ways to make technology both effective and enjoyable to use.
I thrive in roles that connect the strategic with the practical, from coordinating technical projects to building tools that make everyday work smoother. My experience spans very different environments, from traditional enterprise consulting and development to fast-paced e-commerce product teams and public sector process coordination, giving me a broad perspective on how people and systems interact.
Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new ways to use different parts of my brain, from creating gamified Notion templates to experimenting with drawing, ceramics, singing, or low-code project ideas. This curiosity keeps me open to new perspectives and approaches.
If you'd like to get in touch, feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn.
