hey, I'm ekin 👋

product builder (product + engineering)

I work across product and engineering, with experience building blockchain products, developer tools, and systems for managing operations.

Most of my time goes into building and shipping, from infrastructure for developers to internal tools for payments and everyday workflows. I'm an intern who likes getting my hands dirty and learning fast by figuring things out as I go.

Lately, I've been focused on engineering operations, using AI tools and workflows to help teams improve how they work and handle more as they grow.

Here's the kind of stuff I build

GetFertilizer

Agricultural data and operations platform focused on fertilizer markets.

Helps fertilizer buyers and sellers find products and connect with suppliers. We're building a data layer to make pricing easier to understand.

Fractual

Financial infrastructure for fractional investing.

Helps operators structure fractional ownership deals and track portfolios, with tools for compliance and investor reporting.

Investimate

AI-assisted investment research and due diligence platform.

Brings data from different sources together so you can research and compare investments faster. You make the investment decisions; it doesn't automate trading.

Tinkering (tools I build to scale)

Orvion

Dev tools and infrastructure for payments and usage-based systems.

Tools for metered billing and payments tied to identity. Apps, APIs, and agents can use them to set up programmable money flows and charge for usage.

GTM Intelligence

AI-powered prospecting agent for go-to-market teams.

Give it a target profile and it finds relevant people and companies. It automates prospect research and lead qualification so GTM teams can focus on closing deals.

mindsync

Portable skill suite for building persistent knowledge bases with LLMs.

An open-source toolkit for Claude, Codex, and OpenClaw that turns a chosen set of sources into a wiki you can keep building on. It handles imports, semantic search, queries, linting, and export for projects with lots of research material.

Closingtime

Track processes and ports left behind by coding agents.

A Rust CLI and library that shows which recorded agent run a process belongs to and what's still running afterward. You can keep processes you need and review cleanup before stopping anything.

AI ROI Scorecard

Weekly value reports for AI work.

Estimates the weekly value of AI work from existing logs, using approved time baselines and hourly rates. The TypeScript and Python CLI and SDK also report time saved when runtime is fully measured.
