# Ahmet Kazankaya

> AI automation engineer based in Istanbul, Turkey. Builds the platform layer that makes LLM agents safe to run in production: execution runtimes, human approval gates, permission boundaries, run logging and evaluation harnesses. Ships native macOS, iOS, Windows and web tools as a solo builder. Open to full-time roles in Europe, on site or remote.

Ahmet Kazankaya works as a solo product builder: product and interface design, implementation and testing, with coding agents (Claude Code, Codex) as part of the process. A task management system built for Türkiye Maarif Vakfı, a foundation operating schools in 66 countries, has been in production for four months. Other running work includes an Etsy and Printify automation line with a Telegram approval gate, an ESP32-S3 desk robot with a speech pipeline, and open source Claude Code skill sets that other people install.

Skills: LLM agent orchestration, workflow automation, evaluation harnesses, CI reliability gates, prompt engineering, retrieval augmented generation, Python, TypeScript, Swift and SwiftUI, FastAPI, Next.js, Docker, AWS, ESP32 firmware. Languages: Turkish, English.
