A studio of one
Say hi
Hi.
I'm Berk.
Here's how I got here.
▌ It started here
I started by making things with my hands. Painting, sculpture, the messy analog stuff. The first thing I ever shipped wasn't software.
▌ A startup happened
I joined a tech company. I built the software, marketed it, sold it. I learned that shipping is a skill on its own.
▌ Back to the keyboard
I went back to engineering. Picked up the right tools, the right languages, the right habits. Became a good developer — back when that title still meant something.
▌ Then the math changed
The tools got smart enough that anyone with taste could ship. I got obsessed. Now I'm an agentic coder. Whatever that means in six months.
▌ Which brings us here
Apps. Client work. Weird experiments. All under one roof, all hand-shipped. Here's some of it.

EndorsementsIt is not the critic who counts. Credit belongs to the developer who is actually in the arena, whose IDE is marred by error logs, who errs and falls short again and again — but who, at the worst, fails while daring greatly. Berk strives valiantly. The site shipped.
Be the developer you wish to see in the world. I have seen Berk. I am content.
Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be debugged. Berk debugs. Of course one must also pair-program with him, occasionally, when the bug is unusually radioactive.
No historical figures were inconvenienced in the making of this page.

Apps
▌ App #001 · in early access
A focused video editor I'm using on my own footage. The standout feature so far: an AI cast — a roster of characters you can drop into your project who can read lines, react, narrate, take notes. Historical figures included. [ Berk: rewrite this with the real pitch when you have it. ]
A custom website used to mean three months and twenty grand. AI changed the math. You can now do most of it yourself, in your browser, in real time. I'm there for the parts where you'd otherwise be stuck — deploys, payments, weird bugs at 11pm — and to keep the quality bar where it should be. Custom code, real ownership, real domain. You take it home whenever.
