About

A bit about who I am and what I've done.

I'm Yekta Cemre Özdemir, a Product Manager with a degree in Industrial Engineering from Middle East Technical University. Over the past few years, I've worked across procurement, customer success, and product management — each role sharpening a different edge of how I think about building things. Today, I lead products at Mükellef and Workhy, a SaaS platform helping individuals and businesses navigate financial and legal processes. My approach is always the same: understand the problem deeply, align the right people, and build something that genuinely works.

A bit personal

Outside of work, I spend most of my free time in nature — hiking, camping, and skiing whenever I get the chance. I also juggle, which surprises more people than it should. These aren't escapes from work; they're extensions of the same mindset: patience, focus, and the satisfaction of doing something well.
