Hi, I'm Bugra - Computer Scientist, Architect and Builder

Hi everyone, I'm Bugra from Istanbul.

I work at the intersection of software architecture, security, distributed systems, blockchain and AI. I'm most interested in problems where correctness actually matters: systems that move money, coordinate distributed state, enforce authority, communicate in real time, or have to keep working when things go wrong.

I started working in cybersecurity and offensive security early, later moved into blockchain and distributed systems, and eventually into large-scale backend architecture and technical leadership. I previously worked in R&D at Huawei, and today I remain hands-on while designing and securing production systems across microservices, cloud infrastructure, real-time communication, authentication, authorization and distributed backends.

Rust, Go and TypeScript are the languages I spend most of my time with. On the deeper systems side, I work on protocol design, consensus, P2P networking, cryptography, zero-knowledge systems, ZKVMs and blockchain security. I also contribute to and review open-source infrastructure projects.

Outside of professional work, I build my own products and research projects. That currently includes x402Shield for AI-agent payment authorization, TryMarketOps for B2B signal intelligence, Budlum and BudZKVM for blockchain and zero-knowledge research, and RadeBrowser, a Rust-first browser experiment.

What keeps me interested is usually the same thing: finding a difficult boundary between disciplines and trying to build something real there, rather than stopping at a prototype or another API wrapper.

I joined Product Hunt to meet people building ambitious technical products, discover interesting infrastructure and developer tools, and share some of the systems I'm working on.

Nice to meet everyone.
