I'm Berk. I make things, and along the way I built the setup that makes building fast: good hardware, your real code, an AI in the room, and me on call for the parts that get hard. That's Open Studio, and you can use it.
Builds from $500You own the code on day oneStarts with a 20-minute call
01 / Open Studio
A fractional CTO you can actually afford.
It runs on a dedicated machine, not your laptop — so you can start a build on your phone at the bus stop and pick it up on a desktop that night. Same project, same code. This is the real Workshop below; type in it.
Live — this is the real thing
Your browser has 3D turned off. Chrome → Settings → System → “Use graphics acceleration when available”, then reload. The demo above works either way.

Every mode is the real thing, not a picture of it.No signup · rate-limited, be nice
And when something breaks at 11pm, I'm already in your code — same machine, same repo, no access to grant. Going it alone, that's the call you can't make.
- Your repo, yours from day one
- A real preview at every step
- One human, reachable

02 / How it works
Three steps, and you are in the room for all of them.
Ask, and watch it change.
You type in the Workshop; the AI edits your actual project while you watch. I join the same chat for the calls that matter.
AI around the clock · me when it countsGo live, keep the door open.
I wire up the domain and hosting. The room stays open as your business changes, or rests for $10 a month.
Your code, your repo, day one

04 / The studio
This is where it happens.
My office, captured with Twinbly, which is also one of mine. Walk around; the annotations are real. Yeah, the AI does a lot of the typing. I do all the swearing.

Tell me what you want to make.
A 20-minute call is enough to know whether this is the right place to make it. If it isn't, I'll usually point you at someone who is.
