About Berkant Ay

I’m a Senior Product Engineer at Bounti in Berlin with more than eight years of experience building production systems across AI agents, SaaS, advertising technology, industrial diagnostics, autonomous systems, and hardware.

Current work

I’m currently a Senior Product Engineer at Bounti. Alongside my product engineering work, my interests include AI agents, reinforcement-learning environments, developer tools, and the infrastructure that keeps long-running agent work reliable.

I built PrimePage end to end, covering the customer-facing product, agent workflows, multi-tenant backend, and Kubernetes platform. I also publish practical writing about operating agent systems and maintain open-source tools including Cheez, GoMorph, Lucius, mcprox, slop0, codesearch, and polar-cli.

Experience

I joined Bounti as a Senior Product Engineer in 2026. Before that, I worked independently, was a founding engineer at Pyne, and a senior software engineer at Firefly. Earlier roles at Siemens, DASAL, and Airties covered factory automation, AI research and development, computer vision, embedded and hardware systems, and production software. That path—from bare metal to cloud infrastructure—still shapes how I design dependable systems.
