About me

I’m Can Elma, a Product Engineer with 10+ years of experience building software that ships fast and delivers measurable results.

I combine full-stack engineering with product thinking — from backend systems and mobile apps to modern frontends and AI-powered products. Over the years I’ve launched 20+ products across fintech, enterprise systems, blockchain, and consumer AI.

Highlights:

  • Telegramic — scaled to 400k users, later acquired together with Moss.chat
  • ClothShift — AI fashion try-on and editing app, currently profitable
  • Delivered enterprise systems: GRC platforms, secure mobile SDKs, and a standalone e-wallet mini-app for a major automotive company
  • Led the rewrite of a large-scale content platform, including a new mobile app and architecture to replace an unscalable legacy system
  • Contributed to blockchain initiatives: NFT marketplaces, trading platforms, and wallet integrations
  • And more... over a decade of projects from concept to launch

I also founded APPTORK, a product studio that helps teams move from concept → working product → measurable outcomes.

On this site, you'll find two main things:

✍️ Notes — thoughts, experiments, and lessons learned along the way.

🛠 Works — some projects I've built, shipped, and sometimes sold.

I'm currently working as an indie developer, while also collaborating with teams and companies that want to turn ideas into real products.
