Ayhan Uzundal builds and leads the systems behind durable digital products.
Engineering leader and founder focused on the architecture, teams, and delivery discipline behind products built to last.
I care about software people live with for years — and the teams, architecture, and discipline required to make it dependable.
01Three ways in
One conviction, seen from three angles. Choose where to begin.
For over a decade I have worked across development, quality, automation, and DevOps — most recently leading more than 20 engineers in a distributed Turkey–China organization. The job is to make ownership explicit, measure what matters, and make every release predictable.
02Engineering leadership
From high-traffic telecom platforms to a mobile operating system release program, each chapter added a layer: quality, then automation, then delivery, then leadership.

03The ecosystem
Alongside my career, I am building a family of products on one foundation. This is how the pieces relate, seen from where I stand.

After FrameworkThe shared developer platform(opens in a new tab)Where it is built
My role: founder of After Artificial and Overstein Labs, and creator of Super Garage.
7 more everyday apps are in active development: SuperHealth, SuperFinance, SuperHome, SuperTravel, SuperPet, SuperSports, and SuperNews.
The product and engineering ecosystem
A product studio that designs, builds, and runs software for everyday life — from your car and your health to your money and your home.
Visit Overstein(opens in a new tab)The AI Operating System vision
A family of AI-powered apps for health, money, home, travel, and more, all under one account.
Visit After Artificial(opens in a new tab)The shared developer platform
The shared code, design system, and sign-in tools used to build every app faster and more reliably.
Visit After Framework(opens in a new tab)The flagship product
Maintenance, expenses, documents, and live vehicle data in one place, with an AI assistant that answers questions.

The research and engineering layer
Where reusable frameworks and product systems are researched and forged.
Visit Overstein Labs(opens in a new tab)04Systems thinking
Most teams rebuild sign-in, design, AI plumbing, and release pipelines for every new product. I would rather build those layers once, test them properly, and let each product focus on the people it serves.
Choose a layer to see what it holds. Arrow keys move between layers.
Layer 3 of 6
Shared packages, a design system, and tooling, so each new product starts from a working base instead of an empty folder.
In practice
After Framework, the foundation behind every app in the ecosystem.
05Selected capabilities
No skill bars and no percentages. Each capability points to where it was practiced and what it produced.
Where: Huawei · Siemens · Hepsiburada · Netaş
Moving validation from manual effort to frameworks: UI, API, integration, regression, performance, and multilingual checks.
Outcome: Manual validation cut from about 39 hours to a few hours per cycle.
Where: Huawei · Siemens
Leading teams across development, QA, automation, and DevOps — hiring, mentoring, and setting standards that let people do their best work.
Outcome: More than 20 engineers led in a distributed Turkey–China organization.
Where: Huawei · Overstein
Owning delivery from roadmap to production release, and now applying the same discipline to products of my own.
Outcome: A multi-regional program of $8M scale, delivered to production.
Where: Overstein · After Framework
Designing a shared foundation — code, design system, sign-in, and AI tooling — that every product in the ecosystem builds on.
Outcome: One foundation behind every app in the ecosystem.
Where: Huawei · After Artificial
Using AI inside the engineering process, not only in products: multilingual validation at scale, and assistants built into everyday apps.
Outcome: AI-assisted validation across 11 languages.
Where: Siemens · Hepsiburada
Building CI/CD-integrated delivery pipelines with quality gates, and strengthening pipeline stability on a high-volume e-commerce platform.
Outcome: Release efficiency improved by 50%.
Where: Siemens · Huawei
Bringing development, quality engineering, and DevOps into one delivery rhythm, grounded in PMP, CSPO, and PSM I training.
Outcome: A cross-functional team of more than 10 people; more than 50 technical interviews.
Where: Siemens · Turkcell / Netaş · Hepsiburada
Delivering under real constraints: industrial 5G platforms, telecom services under high traffic, and e-commerce at volume.
Outcome: A €5M enterprise platform with zero critical defects at release.
06Writing and perspective
A place for longer thinking on leadership, delivery, platforms, and AI. Essays will appear here as they are written.
The first notes are being written. Until then, the best way to hear my perspective is a conversation.
