Solutions to problems
Solutions to problems
I see while living and
working from anywhere.
I'm Arda — ex-Tesla engineer, 2x UC Berkeley grad, one-person studio. Everything here started as something that got in my way while living and working from anywhere, so I built the fix and shipped it.
Selected work
Things I've built and shipped
Five products, all live. Each one solves a problem I hit myself, and each was designed, coded and launched solo.
Naturalingo
LivePractice a language with the friends you already have. You chat normally, AI corrects your mistakes inline, and every new word you meet becomes a flashcard automatically.
Drift
LiveA habit app for drinking, smoking, vaping or scrolling less — without the all-or-nothing pressure of quitting. It tracks moving averages instead of streaks, so one bad night isn't a failure.
derive.how
LiveA knowledge graph of physics. Every equation is a node linked to the ones it derives from, so you can trace any result back to first principles instead of memorising it.
Packit Jacket
LiveNot software. A travel jacket with four huge built-in pockets, so your essentials fly with you instead of with the budget airline's carry-on fee.
Media
I film the whole process
Three channels and a book — the building, the travel, and the ideas underneath both.
Nomad Solopreneur
The startup journey in public — what I'm building, what's working, and what quietly isn't.
Gezgin Girişimci Türkçe
The same founder-and-traveller life, told in Turkish for a Turkish audience.
2 Beers 1 Backpack
Adventure and travel. Fewer laptops, more altitude — skydiving, snowboarding and long detours.
Blueprint for a Free Society
A book deriving the foundations of a society from first principles — what maximises prosperity while keeping everyone free.
About
Engineer first, founder by choice
I studied Physics and Mechanical Engineering at UC Berkeley, then spent my first years as an engineer at Tesla. I liked the problems. I liked owning them end-to-end a lot more.
So now I build my own: one person, full stack, from the idea to the store listing. When I'm not shipping, I'm usually somewhere with a decent wifi connection and a much better view — under a canopy, on a board, or halfway through a country I hadn't planned on.
