Mehmet Akif VARDAR

I'm building Chordict to help musicians see the chords and lyrics hidden inside any song. You upload an audio file, and Chordict works out the chords and lyrics. I'm also a musician myself. Yeah.

Most of the rest of my time goes into AI and full-stack engineering. I'm especially interested in R&D-heavy work where I can dig into new ideas, build things around them, and learn along the way.

I currently work as a software engineer across a few projects and companies, mostly building backend, full-stack, and AI systems.

I also like to "dabble" in security. I once dug up a critical database vulnerability in a Delft University of Technology system (pretty cool huh?) and responsibly reported it, which landed me in their Hall of Fame. No problem guys!

I studied Software Engineering at Istanbul Health and Technology University on a full scholarship. Outside the coding stuff, I was very much a campus-life person: ran clubs, played in bands, showed up to events, and somehow ended up organizing some too.

Stuff I'm working on

  • Chordict

    AI that turns any song into a chord sheet, upload audio and it gives you the chords and lyrics, synced.

  • Insora

    An AI phone assistant that answers a business's inbound and outbound calls 24/7, booking appointments, capturing customer details, answering FAQs, and escalating to a human when needed.

  • Juree

    A playful tool that settles the arguments your group chat can't, share a link, everyone drops their take, and an AI makes the call.

  • Visuacast

    Turns a podcast into something you can watch, upload an episode and it stages the speakers as characters in an animated 3D room, surfacing each line as a caption above whoever's talking, with a synced timeline to scrub, skip turns, and adjust speed.

This cool design is inspired by Michael Truell. He founded Cursor btw.
