Berkant Ay
✓Software Engineer
I'm a software engineer in Berlin, currently Working for myself. I build reinforcement-learning environments, long-horizon agents, and the infrastructure that keeps complex agent work reliable.
I also build open-source tools: Cheez for human-feeling interfaces, GoMorph for AI-video morph detection, and Lucius for pairing with AI on a versioned canvas.
Previously, I worked at Pyne, Firefly, Siemens, DASAL, and Airties. You can reach me on Twitter, LinkedIn, or see my code on GitHub.
