What I do

Ideas into working businesses.

I combine business thinking, technology, design and practical experience. Sometimes that means a fast WordPress site. Sometimes it means an e-commerce operation, a marketplace, a directory, a brand or an entirely new venture.

My story

More than one career. One continuous curiosity.

My working life has crossed countries and industries — business, technology, retail, property, photography and entrepreneurship. The common thread has always been building, improving and finding a practical way forward.

I have spent more than 25 years working with the web, from the early days of hosting and online business to modern WordPress, WooCommerce, SEO and custom digital platforms.

IstanbulWhere the story began — education, curiosity and an early interest in business.
United StatesBusiness and finance education, real estate training, IT and entrepreneurship.
LondonNearly two decades spanning digital work, kitchens, photography, Models House and thousands of customer-facing journeys across the city.
NowBuilding independent digital ventures and helping businesses turn ideas into useful, fast online products.

Photography

The creative side.

Photography has run alongside my digital work for years — particularly people, fashion, models, portraits, places and the moments in between.

Life lately

Still curious. Still moving.

Work is only part of the story. These recent moments from Türkiye reflect the life around the projects — coast, mountains, cycling, people and places.

Right now

Still building.

I prefer an active portfolio to a frozen résumé. These are some of the things occupying my attention now.

Platform

Growing Models House

Building a curated international community around real model profiles, castings and agency discovery.

Client work

Web & digital projects

Helping businesses improve WordPress, WooCommerce, SEO, speed and digital customer acquisition.

Journal

Notes from along the way.

Business, technology, photography, places, people and lessons from projects that worked — and some that didn't.

Building things — and writing about what I learn.

The journal is being prepared. It will cover digital work, business, photography and life between projects.

Let's connect

Know me from somewhere?

We've crossed a lot of places, projects and industries over the years. If we worked together, studied together, photographed together — or you simply have an idea you'd like to discuss — I'd enjoy hearing from you.
