Hi, I'm Özberk Erçin 👋

Software engineer — est. 2001 · Berlin / Çanakkale

Founding engineer ×2, former Head of Engineering, hypergrowth survivor.
From Geocities at 10 to agent harnesses in 2026 — these days I build LLM infrastructure for early-stage AI startups.

$ whoami

I build software products, cloud platforms, infrastructure, and developer tools with a bias toward shipping.

  • 25 years writing code
  • 15M+ users reached at ResearchGate
  • Built Emilyn, a #1 MS app used by 60k+ patients
  • Currently working across CTO, DevOps/platform, product, and LLM infrastructure for AI-first companies
  • Deep experience across AWS, GCP, Cloudflare, Kubernetes, Terraform, Pulumi, networking/VPNs, and production IaC
  • I care about infrastructure that shortens the loop: reproducible dev environments, Tilt-powered local clusters, and ephemeral test clusters that make CI feel real
  • I design for boring reliability: clear network boundaries, secure connectivity, high availability, and systems that can scale without heroics

What I like building

platform engineering      /  LLM infrastructure      /  developer tooling

networking · VPNs          /  high availability       /  scalable systems
Tilt dev environments      /  ephemeral test clusters /  fast feedback loops
