Hey! I'm Canberk, a software engineer based in Berkeley, CA. I love building things that actually matter to people.

Right now, I'm working on fullcircle - a dating and wellness community app for yogis, meditators, and folks into holistic living. It's my passion project and we're launching in January 2026!

Previously, I worked at Prevail Legal building AI-powered legal tech, and did an internship at Microsoft back in Turkey.

I went to Bahcesehir University in Istanbul for Software Engineering. Fun fact: I also got pilot training in Budapest because why not? ๐Ÿ›ฉ๏ธ

When I'm not coding, you'll find me doing yoga, meditating, or thinking about my next project. I'm all about wellness, mindful living, and building tech that brings people together.
