Über Berk

I work at the crossroads of data, AI, and business - building systems that make data genuinely useful, not just available.

Over the past 8 years, I’ve led teams and designed modern data platforms for companies in automotive, insurance, and retail. My focus is always on keeping things practical, scalable, and aligned with what the business actually needs.

I like switching between being hands-on and thinking strategically - whether it’s shaping architecture, guiding teams, or helping bring clarity to complex transformations. I’ve learned that lasting impact comes from balancing solid technology with good communication and trust.

Most of my recent work has involved cloud and data ecosystems like Snowflake, Databricks, and AWS - but tools are just part of the story. What really matters to me is solving problems in a way that’s clean, efficient, and easy to build on.

My background in mathematics still shapes how I think -structured, curious, and always looking for patterns that make sense of complexity.

    I'm the co-founder and AI Engineer of Upscill.ai.

    Upscill is an AI-powered sales training platform that helps teams master real sales conversations faster.

    Traditional role-play doesn’t scale. Coaching is inconsistent. And new reps take months to ramp. Upscill fixes this by letting sales teams practice realistic, voice-based sales conversations with AI buyers, anytime.

    Our platform enables sales reps to:

    ● Practice realistic AI voice roleplays tailored to actual deals
    ● Train against intelligent buyer personas with realistic behavior and objections
    ● Receive instant, in-depth feedback on performance, skills, and gaps
    ● Track progress with clear analytics tied to real conversations
