Software studio · Academy · Products

From the lab bench to a live system.

I'm Furkan. Under CzayLabs I build software for organizations, train developers, and shelve the products born from both. The person you scope with is the person who writes the code.

Software studio

Forge

We cast the system and hand you the keys.

Software cast to measure for work that doesn't fit off-the-shelf packages. Written scope, dated delivery; the code, domain and accounts are yours from day one.

I've built software for academies, course centers and brands, and taught in their classrooms.

Every unit is an element.

14 units, three divisions. Each has a two-letter symbol; pick one to step inside.

    One API

    iyzico, PayTR, Parampos and Akbank behind the same call. Switching providers is a few lines of config.

  • 02

    TypeScript out of the box

    Request and response types ship with the package; a wrong field fails at compile time, not in production.

  • 03

    One error shape

    Every provider’s own error format is normalized into a single, consistent shape.

Career and experience

Protocol

Every project goes through the same four steps.

Steps are written, results are measured. Nobody gets surprised.

  1. 01 · Hypothesis

    Introduction

    We talk about what you want to build. If the work isn't a fit, I say so in the first call.

  2. 02 · Formula

    Scope and quote

    Each task is written down; timeline and price follow from it. Anything out of scope is discussed separately.

  3. 03 · Experiment

    Development

    You see a working build at regular intervals. Feedback isn't left to the end.

  4. 04 · Result

    Launch and handover

    The product goes live and you're shown how to use it. Code, domain and accounts stay with you.

Acunmedya Akademi

Furkan Hoca ile Acunmedya Akademi bünyesinde 2 senedir frontend yazılım eğitimleri sürecinde birlikte çalışma fırsatı bulduk.Ani gelişen süreçlere hızlı adapte olan, çözüm üretmekten çekinmeyen ve eğitim kalitesini her zaman en üst seviyede tutan yaklaşımıyla eğitimlerimize çok büyük değer kattı. Öğrencilerine karşı sadece bir eğitmen olarak değil, bir abi gibi yaklaşıp onların gelişimlerini her zaman destekledi. Yardım etmeye her an hazır, sıcakkanlı ve iyi kalpli biri. Hem sorumluluk bilinci yüksek bir eğitmen hem de karakterine sonuna kadar güvenebileceğiniz bir yol arkadaşı kazandığım için çok mutluyum.

Frequently asked

czay.dev is the site itself; CzayLabs is the lab inside it: Forge builds software for organizations, Catalyst trains developers, and Elements shelves the products born from both. The blog and career live here too, under one roof.

Have an idea? Let's run the experiment together.

In the first call we listen to what you want to build and tell you plainly whether it's a fit.
