Hey there 👋
I'm Serdar Cevher
Senior Full-Stack Developer | Product Builder | Creative Storyteller
I bridge the gap between code and creativity. As a co-founder and CTO, I've led technical teams at startups like Auglinn and Off2Class. Beyond engineering, I explore the intersection of technology and art through music and writing, crafting digital experiences that resonate on a human level.
After a creative sabbatical focused on music and writing, I am returning to the tech world with a renewed perspective. I now combine 10+ years of engineering expertise with the communication skills of a storyteller to build products that are not only functional but also meaningful.
Let's connect!
