About

My name is Murat Sutunc.

I’m currently exploring ideas around crafting software and products using AI. We’re headed toward a world where anyone can build whatever they imagine. I’m interested in how we can help make that happen.

I made my first dollar on the internet in 2004 by selling an MMO game server to a local internet cafe. Since then, I’ve worked at various startups and companies, from teams of 2 to teams of 100+.

My first real job was at Microsoft, where I worked on Visual Studio, focusing on programming languages and developer productivity. I was part of the founding team that built TypeScript . I also worked on Chakra  and Apache Cordova .

After Microsoft, I founded a startup called Codela. Frustrated by my own experiences interviewing with tech companies, I built a platform to help companies hire software developers more transparently. We got more than half of the top 10 tech companies in Turkey to use our platform, but we could not grow it into a venture-scale business.

Most recently, I worked at Sourcegraph  as an engineering manager. We focused on extending Sourcegraph beyond the website and making it available on every platform. We launched more products than I can count, and it was a blast.

Outside of work, I enjoy video games, running, and culinary experiments. Since I was a kid, I have been fascinated by the idea of a digital world where we can create anything we want. Movies like Tron and The Matrix had a big influence on me.

Hope to see you around.
