Efe Cem Bardakoglu

AI Engineer · Founder of MatchupWise

Based in Germany

I build and ship AI products end to end, on my own: agent runtimes and evaluation harnesses, multi provider LLM orchestration, FastAPI and PostgreSQL on the backend, Next.js and TypeScript on the front, native mobile builds on top.

MatchupWise came out of the job hunt itself. Every article on this blog is written against the same problem the product solves: what an applicant tracking system actually reads, what a recruiter skims in seconds, and what a candidate can change about either one.
