AI Product Engineer

Building useful AIproducts frommessy signals.

I connect product judgment, growth experiments, data work, and technical fluency to shape useful AI-enabled products.

About

Early-career, but already shaped by real systems.

I am a 25-year-old university student at Bogazici University, building toward AI Product Engineering from a practical base: growth work that taught me acquisition loops, data migration work that taught me systems thinking, and product-facing projects that taught me to care about what users actually do.

Halim Yasin Zumre

Builder profile

Product-minded, technical enough to prototype, honest enough to measure.

The point is not to look like a finished senior AI expert. The point is to show a credible direction: useful workflows, clear user problems, data-aware decisions, and enough technical fluency to move from idea to working shape.

Direction

AI Product Engineering

Style

Evidence-first

Positioning

AI Product Engineer

I am aiming at the space where AI capability, product taste, usable workflows, and measurable adoption meet.

Education

Bogazici University

Computer and Educational Technology background with practical work across web, growth, data, and communities.

Working style

Evidence before theater

I prefer small tests, clear metrics, user language, and honest case studies over inflated claims.

Current focus

AI product practice

My current focus is learning how AI products move from rough user problem to usable prototype, measured workflow, and clear product decision.

Work

Case studies without pretending they are AI trophies.

The evidence is real: growth loops, data systems, web operations, and leadership. The framing is where I am heading - AI products that are useful, measurable, and grounded in user behavior.

Growth SystemsProduct Thinking

Early Community Growth Loop

Gamcap Labs / Marketing Intern / Jan 2023 - Aug 2023

Helped take a crypto gaming community from zero to a visible launch audience through creator partnerships, community rituals, and performance tracking.

Signal

Cold launch, no trust

Action

Creator-led growth loop

Evidence

30K+ audience

Product value

Validated early demand

Signal behind the work

A new gaming product needed early attention and trust in a skeptical, crowded Web3 market with limited budget.

Action taken

Mapped where target users already spent time, tested creator partnerships, ran lightweight engagement loops, and used community response as a feedback signal.

Product relevance

Shows how I think about acquisition as a product system: promise, channel, feedback, trust, and measurable behavior.

Evidence

  • 0 to 30K Twitter/X followers in 8 months
  • 2K-member Discord community built from scratch
  • 10+ creator partnerships coordinated
  • roughly 1,000 qualified waitlist signups

Product Lab

Active builds, framed honestly.

Nuval, Hanio, and Nuvida show where I am turning real workflow problems into AI-assisted product systems. They are not presented as traction stories; they are evidence of product direction, scope, and build taste.

Active build

Nuval

Tracks the work, not the phone. Makes verifiable production visible instead of treating presence as proof.

Status

Maturity

Build in progress

Claim

No traction claimed

Problem

Managers in construction, hotel room setup, and fit-out projects often learn too late who is actually progressing, which room is blocked, and whether reported hours are trustworthy.

Who it is for

Subcontractors and project teams working across many rooms or zones: owners, foremen, workers, and client-side project managers.

AI/product angle

Combines QR, geofence, room plans, checklists, photos, voice notes, and timesheets. AI turns field notes into tasks, matches evidence to room progress, flags unverifiable time, and surfaces the five problems that matter today.

Current state

Product logic is clear. Supabase schema, RLS/auth direction, QR-geofence timesheet foundation, and mobile role separation have started.

Next validation step

Center the product around daily work packages, photo/voice evidence, the AI field assistant, foreman approval queue, and unverifiable time review.

Useful AI products need clear problems and sharp teams.

I am open to junior AI product engineer, product, growth, and data-adjacent roles where I can learn fast and contribute with evidence.
