Cemre Acar

Senior Frontend Engineer, AI Products · Computer Engineer

I have been building products since 2020. At Carbon Consulting I build scalable, user-centric interfaces for enterprise clients on the consulting side. At Beyond Guard I build the interface of the AI security product.

Most of my recent work sits where AI meets the interface: streaming responses, agent interfaces, audit and monitoring panels. On top of that I build my own mobile apps on my own and write about what I learn on Medium.
