I'm an Istanbul-based writer and digital anthropologist with over seven years of experience crafting stories at the intersection of travel, tech, and culture. I profile fascinating people doing fascinating things and explore what it means to be human at a time when the routines that dominate our lives increasingly alter and undermine that humanity.

My work has been featured in Vox Media’s Thrillist, Interesting Engineering, The Culture Trip, The Guide Istanbul, NFT Now, Exhibist Magazine, The Bosphorus Review of Books, and more.

I also occasionally take semi-decent photos with a fancy camera that I have no business owning.

This website is a showcase of some of my work and I update it less often than I probably should. I hate writing bios, so here’s how ChatGPT says I should sign off:

"Anyway, enough about me—I've got some existential dread to wrestle with and a fridge full of snacks that aren't going to eat themselves. Feel free to stick around, read a few stories, and pretend that we're best friends who would totally survive the zombie apocalypse together."

Truly, AI is going to replace us all.
