Why I Started sonne — And Why It Matters Now More Than Ever
I founded sonne to fix what I saw fail—again and again. Ethical, efficient, and tailored IT consulting—built from experience.

I was 19 when I wrote my first line of code professionally. What began as a quiet fascination with building things through logic quickly evolved into a deep commitment to solving real-world problems through technology. Over the last two decades, I’ve served in roles ranging from software developer and architect to senior consultant and project manager—mostly within major public institutions in Türkiye.

But after years of working within and around government systems, one pattern kept emerging: critical institutional knowledge was fading. The overreliance on external consultants, high employee turnover, and lack of internal ownership were slowly eroding organisational memory. This wasn’t just inefficient—it was unsustainable.

It was clear something had to change—and I decided to be that change. From that moment on, I made it my mission to fix what I had seen fail, again and again.

In August 2022, I founded SONNE Software GmbH. “sonne” means sun in German—and this name wasn’t chosen lightly. The sun represents clarity, warmth, and consistency. It reaches everywhere. sonne was born to do the same: to bring light to complex IT challenges, to warm professional relationships with trust and transparency, and to illuminate better paths for organisations.

Why sonne?

sonne isn’t just another consultancy. It’s a response to a very real and pressing need.

Our mission is to help institutions build their own internal capacity—not to create dependency. We design solutions tailored to each organisation’s context. We guide, we support, but we don’t take over. Because we believe the best outcomes come when internal teams are empowered, not replaced.

We work ethically and transparently. No inflated promises. No shiny solutions that don’t fit. Just solid, honest work that gets results.

A Global Vision, Rooted in Experience

sonne may be based in Germany, but its vision is global. We support hybrid and remote ways of working, enabling us to serve institutions anywhere. Because technology knows no borders—and neither should reliable, ethical consultancy.

Our expertise spans IT process optimisation, AI services, data management, and digital ecosystem strategies. And our foundation is built on real-life, real-scale projects that have shaped public digital transformation in Türkiye.

A Personal Note

I didn’t create sonne because I wanted to build a business. I created it because I couldn’t keep watching institutions lose control of their technology strategies, waste their budgets on misaligned tools, or miss the chance to truly modernise.

At sonne, we believe in long-term thinking. In building systems that make sense. In helping people inside organisations become stronger, more capable, more resilient.

If any of this resonates with you—if you’re leading a public institution, a global enterprise, or an ambitious team and need guidance grounded in real-world experience—I’m here to talk.

Let’s bring clarity to your IT challenges.
Let’s build something that lasts.
Let’s do it, the sonne way.
