Metin Akın
Product leader
Technical product manager for systems that can't go down.
10+ years on telco platforms, blockchain validators and lending engines. Engineer by training. When a launch loses its owner, I'm the one who picks it up and still lands it on the date.
Side effects of working with me include fewer meetings and more release notes.

Equipment We Use
This is Metin. You might be wondering if there is any perfect setup for you to complete their day-to-day tasks. No, in fact, you need to build by yourself.

Who pays for the bad analysis?
When I started feeling cold in an air-conditioned office on a hot summer day, I went for a walk outside among the sounds of birds and trees with a cup of coffee in my hand.
