I'm Emre. I build software and make music.

I started making music when I was young, then spent several years working professionally as a DJ and producer. I still release electronic music as Jiwa.

I found software development after university. Long stretches of concentration and constant revision were already familiar from producing music.

Today I'm a software engineer at CI&T. I care about software that behaves predictably, especially the small details that remove friction without asking for attention.

Outside my day job, I'm building Leavely, a multi-tenant leave management SaaS for modern teams. It takes me across product design, frontend, backend, billing, and the less visible work needed to keep a real product running.
