About

I Work for Vlatua. 🦇 I grew up in the historical city of Troy.. Well, technically Çanakkale. The horse? Yep, the Trojans received it, but the name stuck. After high school, I moved to Istanbul for CSE and managed to graduate, though I spent more time coding in cafés than in class. Since 19, I've been working on my own projects through weekends and summer breaks. Fun fact: I had a column in my high school paper and launched an Insta-paper in college. So, maybe this app was inevitable. Once, I saw old ladies dancing to rave music, it made me realize fun is for everyone, no matter your age. So, no boring fonts or black-white logos for me. Some people say I have a sixth sense, I have no idea. I can't even predict an ant. If you're reading this, something must have worked out. 26.

Vlatua: Scouts & Adventurers Map - See Wildfires from Satellites, Track Flights, Quakes, Sharks

Last year, a wildfire came within 2 km of my home. I stayed sleepless up all night, ready to get everyone out the second it reached us. Every app I tried was hours behind.. the best was 3hrs late. So I emailed dozens of satellite companies, got commercial access and built Vlatua. Drop a circle anywhere on the map, your house, mother's home, your kids' school and it wakes you the moment fire crosses in (~10 min). Plus layers for quakes, live flights, sharks, aurora, icebergs, planets, meteors.
