He began his professional culinary career in Istanbul and developed his expertise across a wide range of experiences extending from Çeşme to Marmaris, from international kitchens to yacht cuisine. His background in kitchen management, team coordination, and menu development across operations of various scales has been combined with strong disciplines in hygiene, sustainable quality, and cost control.
Through his leadership and management roles in diverse culinary concepts — including charcuterie production at The Istanbul Butcher, consultancy and operations management at Mantra Gastro & Pub, and consultancy and coordination at Bias Koşuyolu — he approaches the kitchen not only as a production space, but also as an environment for building systems, culture, and operational excellence.
In his educational philosophy, he places sustainability, zero-waste kitchen practices, and responsible production principles at the center of training. He gives particular importance to seasonality, the proper use of ingredients, and efficiency in kitchen operations. By evaluating the journey from farm to table through a holistic perspective, he aims to provide culinary professionals with not only technical expertise, but also ethical and operational awareness.
At Kapurcuk Academy, he supports an educational approach where strong connections with local producers, seasonal ingredients, and the gastronomic richness of Anatolia meet contemporary culinary techniques, contributing to the development of disciplined, creative, and responsible chefs.
