Let me introduce myself.

Uğur Bağtır profile photo

I'm a Digital Project Manager with 10+ years of experience leading product and digital teams across media, advertising, and startups. Lately I've been embedding AI into the core of how we plan, build, and ship — designing AI-augmented workflows for product teams, prototyping with vibe coding, and translating between AI tooling and traditional PM practice.

AI Approach

How I work with AI.

AI didn't replace project management — it amplified it. I treat AI as a collaborator: I design the workflows, set the guardrails, and ship faster. From PRD generation to sprint reports, from competitor research to vibe-coded prototypes — AI is in the loop, but the judgment is mine.

"The best PMs in 2026 aren't the ones who use AI the most — they're the ones who design the cleanest seams between AI and human judgment."
