I’m Gökhan Yalçuk. Since 2011 I’ve managed large-scale dairy farm projects at GEA Group, working from İzmir across Western Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific. This site is where I think out loud: 150+ articles on work, thinking and life. On the side I design and build — products I 3D-model and print myself, and web and mobile apps I take from idea to launch.
