Portfolio

Arda Akgür

Founder • CTO • Systems Architect

I build complex products, engineering teams, and technology platforms for ambitious ventures.

I am a founder and CTO with experience across software architecture, logistics platforms, financial technology, network planning, systems education, security, and applied artificial intelligence. I work best where the product is technically difficult, operationally complex, and commercially important.

My current focus is the architecture and delivery of multi-application logistics ecosystems, alongside independent research and product development in AI-native systems. I remain hands-on in backend architecture, platform integration, technical recruitment, mentoring, deployment, and production debugging.

Enterprise Administration and Access Control

Enterprise platform

I developed an enterprise administration platform using React and NestJS, and designed PBAC — Person-Based Access Control — as an extension of traditional role-based access control.

How I Create Leverage

Architecture

I define system boundaries, service responsibilities, data ownership, interfaces, and realistic migration paths.

Delivery

I stay close to the code, logs, deployments, infrastructure, and actual production behavior.

Engineering Teams

I recruit, mentor, and give engineers clear technical ownership while remaining available for difficult architectural and debugging problems.

Product Translation

I convert operational problems and business requirements into concrete workflows, development priorities, and technical specifications.

Integration

I connect payment providers, mapping services, notification systems, third-party APIs, mobile applications, backend services, and legacy infrastructure.

Resilience

I design around financial, operational, and technical constraints without losing sight of the long-term platform.
