From the towers of finance to the realms of fiction — an atelier where writing, music and image meet.

I have spent more than twenty years in finance — payment systems, consumer finance and digital assets — building teams and growing products. But there was always a notebook on the corner of my desk, and as it grew, the stories stepped out of the towers' shadow and founded realms of their own.
Four of my books have been published so far. The two flagships: Külden Harita, a real finance career carried into fantasy; and Zamanın Öteki Ucu, a science-fiction story of inheritance and hope across generations. My whole shelf is on Kobo in Turkish and on Amazon in English.
Alongside writing, I love to sing. İsra adıyla açtığım YouTube kanalında şarkılarımı ve video kliplerimi yayınlıyorum; yapay zekâ destekli müzik ve video prodüksiyonu sayesinde bu şarkıları insanlarla buluşturabiliyorum. Şarkılarım ve romanlarım birbirinden bağımsız — ikisi de kendi yolunda ilerleyen, ayrı sevdiğim iki uğraş.
