Ali Buğatekin

AI-Native Frontend Engineer

Frontend developer. I started with modern web. As the AI ecosystem grew around me I leaned into it — first AI-Native Frontend Eng, then someone who started designing systems that use agents. I still actively do both. I take problems I run into, pair them with the new agent tooling, and ship projects. The ones that fit, I open-source.

What I'm working on

Agent Skills MCP

A personal skill registry I built on MCP for tech-stack and code-quality memory. Built it for myself first — to keep my code at the same level wherever I write it. Then folded it into work as the global skill source. Designed around the same skills pattern Anthropic uses inside Claude, so it's friendly to the token budget.

  • one registry, two agents
  • every skill global
  • Claude's skills pattern
  • token-friendly

Agentic Payroll

I'm one of the builders on Türkiye's first AI-powered payroll service. Designed a heavy-duty table engine for the product and pulled its performance up. The project also gave me a walkthrough system that goes beyond the usual rails — it has a free-roam mode — and a feature-based structure focused on readability.

Intent-driven agentic E2E

Replacing static selector-based Playwright/Cypress with a setup where internal agents drive end-to-end tests by intent. Working on rolling it out internally with minimal cost.

A2A Protocol R&D

Research on a multi-agent system architecture where agents talk like teammates and act, taking on personnel roles inside isolated environments.

Autonomous Task System

A system I built by stitching together Claude GitHub App + GitHub Projects + Agent Skills MCP — agents pick up open tasks autonomously, ship them and hand them in. Still actively developing it.

Daily News Agent

An autonomous agent that scans local + global news on the payroll domain and fresh security advisories for the company's tech stack, then auto-pushes them to the tech-news channel on Slack daily. One agent covering both the domain feed and security watch.

short story

The road in brief

2024

BSc in Computer Engineering

Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University

Board member of the ÇOMÜ Blockchain Club; also the art director for all of the team's digital design. My AI chapter started here as ChatGPT landed — across projects I learned both how to write code and how to pull skills out of AI. Graduated with a 2.42 GPA; I wasn't shining in class — I was part of the dinosaur generation forced to write code on paper during exams in the early 2020s :)

Jun 2024 — Jun 2025

Frontend Developer

filika.co

Builder on the SMB product. Cut first-load time by ~40% (7s → 4s). Pushed heavy work off the main thread with background workers. Drove the Next.js 14 → 15 → 16 major upgrades.

Jun 2025 → now

AI-Native Frontend Engineer

filika.co

Builder on Agentic Payroll; still active on the SMB product. Table engine, free-roam walkthrough, feature-based structure work. Alongside it: Agent Skills MCP (open source), intent-driven agentic E2E, A2A R&D, an autonomous task system and a daily news agent — projects I started personally and folded into the org.
