I build products that turn bureaucratic chaos into calm, submission-ready journeys — and StepIn is where that work meets Türkiye’s Tech Visa moment.

When you finally submit, you should trust the dossier — not hope nobody notices what you missed.

A note from the founder

For more than thirteen years I have sat at the intersection of design, engineering, and product strategy — translating messy real-world processes into software people can actually finish. StepIn is not a side experiment; it is the synthesis of everything I have learned building dashboards, document pipelines, and multi-step workflows under strict regulatory pressure.

The Türkiye Tech Visa pathway asks founders and technology experts to assemble a dossier that is dense, fragmented, and unforgiving of small errors. I watched the same pattern in migration products years earlier: talented people losing weeks because a stamp, translation, or expiry date was wrong — not because they lacked merit. StepIn exists so those issues surface in a private preparation layer, long before an official filing.

We are not a government portal and we do not replace legal counsel. We are the operating system for readiness — rule engines, validation routes, and role-aware workspaces for applicants, technopark HR, and corporate teams. I architected that stack end to end because I believe global tech mobility deserves the same rigor we give to enterprise software.

Why I built StepIn

01

Regulatory journeys deserve product craft

At Ad Migrants Group I spent years designing migration dashboards, upload pipelines, and wizard flows where a single missing field could stall a case. StepIn applies that discipline to the Türkiye Tech Visa — Founder and Talent tracks — with validation that reads like a coach, not a black box.

02

AI where it reduces anxiety, not hype

OCR, layout analysis, and smart checks belong behind the scenes — surfacing “this stamp is unclear” or “this expiry is too close” in plain language. I designed StepIn’s validation philosophy around explainable feedback and dossier architecture, not vanity automation.

03

One platform, three audiences

Applicants need clarity. Technopark HR needs vetted pipelines instead of PDFs in chat threads. Corporates need compliance visibility. StepIn unifies those roles without forcing everyone into the same UI — because mobility is a network problem, not a single form.

What I bring to the mission

Product & system architecture

13+ years bridging UI/UX systems and backend design — modular APIs, secure document flows, and roadmaps that stakeholders and engineers can both trust.

Compliance-minded engineering

Experience with KVKK/GDPR-aligned handling, encryption at rest, and checklist automation — built for environments where personal documents are non-negotiable.

Technical leadership

Led cross-functional teams under Agile delivery — from database migrations to design systems — with documentation that keeps product, legal context, and engineering aligned.
