Emir helped build Vivideo on a simple conviction: the best AI video model changes every few weeks, so no creator should be locked to a single one. As COO he runs the operational side of that promise — how Vivideo benchmarks, integrates and orchestrates the leading models behind one simple studio.

He studies Computer Engineering and Business Administration at Koç University, and started out in research — at Koç’s KUIS AI Center, where he co-authored a paper on 360° panorama generation, and at Leiden University. Exchange semesters have since taken him around the world, from Hong Kong Polytechnic University to the Technical University of Munich, and he turns up at hackathons wherever he lands.

Alongside that he builds inside startups. As a founding engineer at Swarmy he architected an autonomous multi-agent framework that runs end-to-end browser testing by itself, distributing the work across clusters of child agents. At Leagle he built the retrieval layer behind an AI legal assistant, grounding every answer in verified legislation so the model cites rather than invents.
