Baris Tikir

I co-founded loily, an innovative software platform that streamlines the creation, management and distribution of customer loyalty programs for small and medium businesses. I also founded needinvoice, an invoice management application with the focus on simplicity and integrating various payment providers to enable quicker billing cycles. Besides that I also built nneedmentor, an online mentoring platform with real-time communcation and collaborative code editor sessions in the browser, and needwork, a two sided marketplace for co-working spaces and cafes for finding the right place to work from anywhere. In 2020, I developed a university-exclusive voice chat platform, similar to Clubhouse, to help colleagues stay connected during remote learning throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. This year I published an open-source voice typing desktop application, which enables real-time speech recognition using an ASR model (or so called AI model) and allows users to type text with just speaking into the microphone. The project focuses on the usage of ASR models locally to create a privacy preserving environment for users.

I consider myself a software engineer with the passion for design. I enjoy creating highly polished products I need the most.
