I turn complex problems into
thoughtful software.A little instinct. A lot of listening.
AI workflows, full-stack products, and
the connections in between.Bass, guitars, keys, and vocals.
From the first idea to the final take.
I build software around the way people work: automating repetitive tasks, creating web products, and connecting the tools behind them.
A synth-driven original, blending electronic layers with live acoustic guitar.
Synthwave · Ambient acousticI’m Ataberk, a software developer and musician based in Ottawa. I build AI workflows, integrations, and full-stack products. I also write, record, and perform.
Sometimes it starts with a problem. Sometimes with a melody.
Artist story
I started playing in my teens. Picked up bass because the low end felt like where the song actually lives - and I haven't stopped since. Over the years I've played with bands and solo projects, in small venues and bigger rooms, and in a few countries.
Music taught me things engineering can't: reading a room, listening to people who are better than you, and shipping something imperfect in front of a live audience. Those lessons come with me into everything I build.
Right now I'm writing and producing in a synthwave direction - melodic, groove-first, a little cinematic. I'm interested in the intersection of retro textures and modern rhythm.
Milestones
High-level markers. The full story is longer and messier - which is how it should be.
Started playing bass in school-era bands. Learned to play by ear and by gigging - still my favorite school.
Regular gigging across bars, venues, and campus shows. Hundreds of hours on stage that taught me more than any textbook.
Featured bass work, collaborations with other musicians and producers, and deeper work on arrangement and tone.
Moved from playing other people's songs to writing and producing original work. Now mostly in a synthwave-leaning direction.
Writing, producing, performing when the project is right. Open to collaborations with thoughtful people.
Let’s make it happen.
