Mert Çetin, AI Engineer and Full-Stack Software Engineer
TL;DR:AI engineer and full-stack software engineer focused on agent infrastructure, production products, and native macOS tools.
I build software that solves real problems. My work spans AI systems, full-stack product development, and developer tools. I care about shipping quickly without compromising reliability or maintainability.
I previously worked on Jotform AI in a large-scale production environment. I now spend much of my time building open-source tools for the AI agent ecosystem, including Coal, Research Swarm, and Ankui.
Good architecture should make the next change easier. I try to build systems that are clear to operate, safe to extend, and useful beyond the demo.
