My Journey

  1. Jello

    Data and search engineer

    Sep 2026 to now

    Startup

    A startup with paying users. We won first place at the Hackathon of Hackathon Winners with it, then kept going: 585 commits in the ten days after.

  2. ChatBot Skriv

    Sole engineer

    Aug 2026 to now

    Side project

    From an idea to a product with paying users in the Chrome Web Store, with card and MobilePay subscriptions, in two months.

  3. Modestly

    Founder, sole engineer

    Dec 2025 to now

    Own company

    6,054 commits. I wrote the specifications, set the architecture, rebuilt the backend in C# when the first version hit its limits, and reviewed every change before it reached the server.

  4. Nordisk Software

    Software developer, AI engineer

    Aug 2025 to May 2026

    Employee

    Built Nordic Engine for the sales team, then split it so a second company could sell from the same system without ever seeing our data.

About

Sehit Degirmenci

Hello

my name is

Sehit

Hi, I'm Sehit :)

I'm an engineer in Copenhagen who builds the parts of a product users never see: money that splits correctly, data one company can never read from another, and AI that is only allowed to choose the words around the facts.

I work AI-native. I write the specification, set the architecture, direct AI agents to implement it and review every change against the running system. I measure myself by what is in production, not by what is on a branch.

Give me a hard problem and a deadline. That is where I do my best work.

Engineering Philosophy

For me, engineering is discipline.

A system is only as good as the day it goes wrong. So I write down what must never happen, prove it with a test against the real database, and only then call a feature done.

Two books on my desk shaped how I work: one on staying calm under pressure, one on reading the people across the table.

Stillness Is the Key, Ryan Holiday

“Stillness is the key.” I reread the title whenever production is on fire.

Beyond the Screen

Outside work I train fighting sports. The ring teaches the same thing production does: you find out who you are when the plan stops working.

Photos from training are coming soon.
