Operation Manager

Hey there, I’m Beni! You can think of me as a bit of a tech enthusiast with a knack for turning ideas into reality. Hailing from Istanbul, Turkey, I've always been drawn to the intersection of technology and innovation.

Currently, I wear multiple hats – one as an Operations Manager at BiLira, where I'm knee-deep in launching our new RFQ-based product, Pro.Bilira.co. It's a thrilling journey, collaborating with both our ops and dev teams to ensure everything runs smoothly and our customers are happy campers.

But that's not all. I'm also the brains behind Lunapark Web3 Hub, a vibrant space for the Web3 community to connect, collaborate, and learn. Building it from the ground up has been an adventure, but seeing it become a hotspot for industry pros and enthusiasts alike has been incredibly rewarding.

Before diving into operations and entrepreneurship, I got my hands dirty in the technical side of things. From quality control at 3BFab to researching 3D printing techniques at Sami Shamoon College of Engineering, I've always been fascinated by how technology can shape our world.

Outside of work, you’ll often find me diving headfirst into hackathons, co-organizing events, or geeking out over the latest developments in blockchain and emerging tech. I'm also a proud member of Layka DAO Genesis Team and have been involved with IEEE for a good chunk of my academic journey.

When I'm not glued to my laptop screen, you might catch me exploring Istanbul's hidden gems – because hey, why not?

Driven by a passion for innovation and a love for bringing people together, I'm always eager to dive into new challenges and make a meaningful impact wherever I go. So, whether it's launching groundbreaking products or building vibrant communities, count me in!
