User Acquisition & Performance Marketing Lead

Istanbul, Türkiye

Ten years in performance marketing, split across two worlds. At Teknasyon I spent six years on user acquisition for subscription apps, from Getcontact's $1M+ annual budget to launching Kompanion from zero. At Adinteraction I lead performance marketing and brand management for fintech, real estate and e-commerce brands, on both the marketing and the technical side. I also co-founded Scora, a live-score app I built with Claude Code.

About

Apps at Teknasyon, brands at Adinteraction, product at Scora.

My work sits where media, measurement and product meet. At Teknasyon, a non-gaming app publisher, I ran user acquisition for several subscription apps in parallel on Meta, Google App Campaigns, TikTok, Apple Search Ads and Snapchat: account structure, geo and audience splits, bidding, creative testing, and the cohort, trial-to-paid, LTV and payback reporting in Adjust and RevenueCat that tells you where the next dollar should go.

Alongside install campaigns I built web-to-app funnels for Getcontact, and for other portfolio apps I took single campaigns to as many as 35 countries. In 2022 I also worked with ShyftUp, a US growth consultancy, running ROAS-led UA for growth-stage apps.

Since 2023 I've been at Adinteraction, where the work is about brands rather than apps. I lead performance marketing and brand management for fintech, real estate and e-commerce clients, covering both the marketing side and the technical requirements behind it: campaigns on Meta, Google, TikTok and X, and measurement built on GA4, GTM, Meta CAPI, Enhanced Conversions and CRM data, reported in BigQuery and Looker Studio.

Scora brings me back to apps, this time from the product side. I build it with Claude Code, from the React Native app and Supabase back end to native iOS widgets and Live Activities, and I run its Apple Search Ads, Meta and Google campaigns myself. On the side, I work freelance with Turplus, an events company, building registration pages for B2B technology events and the pipeline behind them: form capture, CRM sync and tailored emails to attendees and to the brand.

Co-Founder · Scora

Jun 2026 - Present

Live-score and match centre app for football and basketball fans in Türkiye, on the App Store and Google Play

Built the app end to end with Claude Code as the main development tool, starting from almost no coding background: React Native with Expo, Supabase, Sportmonks and other match-data feeds, plus native Swift for iOS widgets and Live Activities.
Shipped live scores with instant goal and card alerts, lock-screen Live Activities, match centres with line-ups, stats, xG and momentum, and live commentary translated into Turkish with Gemini.
Run the work through a pull-request flow with nearly 500 automated test files, guarded commands and several named Claude sessions for QA, audits and infrastructure.
Own ASO and acquisition: Turkish and English store listings, Apple Search Ads campaigns (brand, category, competitor), Meta and Google Ads, with Meta and TikTok SDKs for attribution.
Led a full redesign within four months of launch: a simpler home screen, five-tab navigation, a new typeface and one design language across football and basketball.
