Aysu Ozdal · Toronto, ON

Product strategy, user insight, and technical execution.

I'm Aysu - a product-focused software engineer and founding product manager. I took Trac from 0 to 4,000+ MAU, and love turning messy problem spaces into clear, shippable roadmaps.

Portrait of Aysu Ozdal

A software engineer who thinks like a PM - grounded in user research, guided by KPIs, and shipping the details that make a product feel real.

I studied Software Engineering (Co-op) at McMaster, wrote 5G radio automation at Ericsson, and led product at Trac - a real-time shuttle-tracking app now serving thousands of students. My work lives between engineering, research and roadmap: PRDs, prototypes, stakeholder interviews, and the release notes that follow.
