hey, I'm ekin 👋

product builder (product + engineering)

I work at the intersection of product and engineering, with hands-on experience building products in blockchain, developer tools, and operations management.

I spend most of my time building and shipping things, from developer-facing infrastructure to internal tools for payments, workflows, and day-to-day operations. I'm an intern! I like getting my hands dirty, learning fast, and figuring things out by doing.

Lately I've been focused on engineering operations, trying to unlock step-function improvements that help teams scale operations by implementing AI-powered tools and workflows.

Here's the kind of stuff I build

GetFertilizer

— Agricultural data and operations platform focused on fertilizer markets.

Helps buyers and sellers find the right products, connect with suppliers, and make sense of pricing. We're building the data layer the fertilizer industry never had.

Fractual

— Financial infrastructure for fractional investing.

Tools for managing fractional ownership — from structuring deals and tracking portfolios to handling compliance and investor reporting. Built for operators who need things to actually work.

Investimate

— AI-assisted investment research and due diligence platform.

Pulls together data from a bunch of sources so you can research and compare investments faster. It's a research tool, not a trading bot — the human still makes the call.

Tinkering (tools I build to scale)

Orvion

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

Building blocks for metered billing, identity-linked payments, and programmable money flows. Designed for apps, APIs, and agents that need to charge for what they do.

GTM Intelligence

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

Automates prospect research and lead qualification so GTM teams can focus on closing, not searching. Feed it a target profile and it surfaces the people and companies worth talking to.

mindsync

— Portable skill suite for building persistent knowledge bases with LLMs.

An open-source Claude, Codex, and OpenClaw toolkit for turning a bounded corpus into a compounding wiki instead of re-deriving context on every query. It handles ingest, semantic search, querying, linting, and export workflows for research-heavy projects.
