Hi, I'm Zeynep.

Legal Tech Developer

This is my corner of the internet: a bit about me, the winding road that got me here, and the things I write down about law and technology.

About Me

Not very usual story - I started my career in law, then shifted to software engineering. A master's in IT law, a software testing certification, and a few years of test automation later, I now build agentic AI systems for legal work. The through-line has always been the same: turning fuzzy processes into something a machine can actually run.
