Team

When the scope calls for it, we bring in specialist partners. That way we keep the speed of a small team and can still take on work that needs a larger one.

    Founder · data, automation and planning systems

    Mert Dönmezler

    Unholy Labs was his idea. He studied mechanical engineering at Özyeğin University, where his final-year project was the design of a linear actuator for a four-legged robot. He completed his master’s in Engineering Management at Galatasaray University, with a thesis on the effect of a worker-welfare criterion on decision outcomes in supplier selection. He has spent his working life in manufacturing and the supply chain. As a demand planning specialist at Coca-Cola İçecek, he built a product-level statistical forecasting engine. Forecast accuracy rose from 72% to 84%, and once the write-off risk model went live, write-off risk in regional warehouses fell by 81%. At Spirax Group he worked as a technical sales engineer for the MENAT region and automated the whole quoting process, which handled about sixty quotes a week. Preparation time per quote fell to about six minutes. At Petrol Ofisi he built the assignment and routing model for a fourteen-barge bunkering fleet, and the annual saving came to about $320,000. Today he works as a business analyst at a retail brand, where he built and runs the decision platform that combines weekly data from five retail chains. At Unholy Labs he leads the data, automation, demand forecasting and custom software work.

Specialist partners

We work with specialist partners in three areas. They join when a project needs their expertise, and the founders still run the project.

  • Software development

    A developer who builds complete applications. Their earlier work includes a web-based documentation app built from Excel data sets. When a project’s scope grows, they help with development.

  • Design and art direction

    An art director with a fine arts degree. Before moving into art direction, they worked at agencies on branding, motion design and graphic design. On our projects they set the design and the visual language.

  • Social media and digital communication

    They studied advertising design and communication, and at agencies they worked their way up from social media specialist to digital communications manager. On our projects they look after social media and digital communications.

Where we work

We don’t have an office. We work remotely and make no secret of it. With no rent or fixed overheads to cover, we can do the same work for a noticeably lower price. When a meeting is needed, we come to your office or meet you in Istanbul. We don’t think having an office address makes the work any better.

All it takes is thirty minutes and a conversation.
