My name is Cemre, pronounced GEM-RAY.

I hail from Turkey and Finland, and call Brooklyn home. Last January, I moved to San Francisco with Josh and Hursh to found Branch.com.

My Master's thesis in NYU was a study to visualize a travel timeline in material form. A reverse API time machine, of sorts. Read the paper or check out more pictures.

I made a little online tool to generate treemap visualizations based on travel histories gathered from TripIt. Check it out here →

This project was featured in the TripIt Blog and .net magazine, among others.

I had a view of the midtown skyline when I moved into my loft in Brooklyn, which was later blocked by an ugly condo building. I protested. Local blogs picked it up.
