Welcome to my new blog! I'm Deniz, a product builder and software engineer with over a decade of experience creating software products—from analytics platforms and productivity apps to AI-driven solutions. My passion lies in turning ideas into impactful software that people genuinely enjoy using.
I've previously shared content on various platforms, but since launching this site, I've decided to consolidate my thoughts, reflections, and insights here. I may also import some of my previous posts to keep everything accessible in one place. I started importing some of my previous posts with correct dates, so they will appear older than this post.
Why I Started This Blog
For many years, I've been deeply involved in building and launching software products. Engineering is at the heart of what I do, but my true satisfaction comes from seeing users engage meaningfully with products I've built.
This blog is my way of reflecting on these experiences, openly sharing both the engineering lessons and the broader product-building insights I've accumulated along the way.
What to Expect
You can look forward to content such as:
- Insights into software architecture and design, grounded in real-world product experience
- Reflections on my entrepreneurial journey, including product challenges and successes
- Reviews of the tools, services, and technologies I trust to build reliable and enjoyable products
- Thought experiments and practical explorations of artificial intelligence (AI) in product contexts
- Technical tutorials and guides directly inspired by real product challenges I've encountered
This is it! For now...
Great products emerge from curiosity, thoughtful iteration, and collaboration. If you're passionate about creating impactful software products, I'd love to connect.
