Hi, I'm Alican
Software architect based in Berlin. 9+ years building products from early-stage startups to growth-stage companies. One senior engineer, not an agency.
Let's work together
The short version
I started in real estate - valuation, development, leasing for one of Europe's biggest mall operators. Good career, but I kept building side projects in my spare time.
In 2019, I made the jump. Bootcamp, then startups. I was one of the first engineers at Parloa, joining before their pre-seed round and staying through multiple funding rounds. They're now valued at €3B+. I've seen what works, what doesn't, and what keeps founders up at night.
In 2023, I joined Antler's Berlin cohort (top 4% acceptance). Built Visuo, an AI data analytics platform. Raised pre-seed, got revenue, wore every hat from engineering to sales.
Now I help other founders skip the expensive mistakes. Build faster. Use AI properly. Own their tech instead of renting it.
