Utku Özgenç — AI Developer

Production AI for businesses with no time to build it themselves.

I design, build, and ship custom AI systems for ecommerce, healthcare, legal, fintech, and SaaS teams. Most projects ship in 1–4 weeks. Flat pricing, no agency layer, you own the code.

03How I work

Four steps from cold email to live system.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    A 30-minute Google Meet call where I ask the questions you answered in the booking form, dig into the constraints, and decide together whether this is a good fit. Scoped in writing before anything starts.

  2. 02

    Build

    One to four weeks of focused work, weekly check-ins by email or call. You see the system as it comes together, not at the end.

  3. 03

    Ship

    Deployed on your infrastructure or mine — your choice. You own the code, the prompts, and the data. Handover docs included.

  4. 04

    Support

    Thirty days of bug fixes and tuning included. Optional monthly retainer for ongoing model updates, eval runs, and new feature work.

04About

Engineering, not prompt-fiddling.

Background

Utku Özgenç

AI Developer

İstanbul, Turkey

Sabancı University CS&E · 4th year

English C2 · Turkish (native)

I'm a final-year Computer Science & Engineering student at Sabancı University, building production AI systems for businesses worldwide. The CS&E program here is one of Turkey's most demanding — five years of systems, algorithms, networks, databases, and software engineering. I take that foundation seriously.

I work directly with founders and ops leaders — no account managers, no handoffs, no agency overhead. The person you talk to on the discovery call is the person writing the code.

Most "AI work" today is prompt engineering glued to a UI. That has a place, but it isn't enough for systems that survive contact with real users. I build the boring parts — retrieval, evaluation, error handling, observability, deployment — so the AI part actually keeps working in production.
