Building AI-Native Businesses That Scale
I’m Ege, a systems architect who helps businesses fundamentally redesign themselves for the AI era. Instead of adding AI tools to existing processes, I rebuild business architecture from the ground up to unlock exponential efficiency gains.
My background combines deep technical expertise in architecting AI systems that process millions of transactions with business execution experience that generated $50M+ in revenue across multiple ventures.

Business redesign for 10x AI efficiency
The Architecture Mindset
Most companies approach AI like renovating a house by adding smart devices to existing structures. I approach it like an architect designing a new building optimized for modern technology from the foundation up.
This systems thinking perspective is what enabled me to:
- Build AI sales systems that generated 7-figure ARR in 10 months
- Design computer vision products that processed millions of daily transactions across 5 countries
- Help Fortune 500 companies achieve 30% operational cost reductions through AI-native processes
Legacy vs. AI-Native Business Design
❌ Legacy Business Architecture
- Human workflows with AI bolted on
- Process bottlenecks remain unchanged
- Linear scaling with diminishing returns
- AI tools fighting legacy systems
- Incremental improvements (~20% gains)
✅ AI-Native Business Architecture
- AI-first processes designed from scratch
- Eliminated human bottlenecks entirely
- Exponential scaling with compound returns
- AI systems working in harmony
- Transformational results (3-10x gains)
Why This Combination Is Rare
Technical Depth: I’ve built the actual AI systems, written the code, and dealt with real-world scale challenges.
Business Acumen: I’ve also built the companies, generated the revenue, and understand how technology translates to business outcomes.
Systems Thinking: Most importantly, I design holistic business architectures rather than point solutions.
This intersection is uncommon. Most technical people lack business context. Most business consultants lack implementation experience. I’ve lived in both worlds and can bridge the gap.
The AI Maturity Spectrum
Through working with dozens of companies, I’ve identified three distinct levels of AI readiness:
Level 1: AI-Resistant Architecture
Legacy systems fighting AI integration, creating bottlenecks that limit potential to 10-20% efficiency gains.
Level 2: AI-Integrated Architecture
AI tools connected to existing workflows with partial automation, hitting scaling limits around 30-50% efficiency gains.
Level 3: AI-Native Architecture
Business processes designed around AI capabilities with end-to-end automation, enabling 3-10x efficiency gains through system synergies.
Most companies think they’re ready for Level 3 but are actually operating at Level 1. The gap between these levels isn’t about technology but about architecture.
Thinking About AI Strategy
I write extensively about the architectural patterns, business frameworks, and system designs that enable AI-native companies. My technical writings cover both the “how” and the “why” behind building businesses for the AI era.
Topics include AI architecture blueprints, business process redesign frameworks, technical implementation guides, and scaling patterns for massive AI workloads.
Working Together
I work with organizations that understand AI transformation requires architectural thinking, not just tool adoption. This includes private equity firms helping portfolio companies navigate AI adoption, growth-stage companies preparing for AI-native scaling, and established enterprises ready for fundamental business redesign.
