About me.

I am Aysu Dalogullari. I am originally from beautiful city of Istanbul, Turkiye. Currently based in sunny Los Angeles 🌴.

I'm a software engineer and professional volleyball player who has competed across Turkey, the US, and Croatia for over a decade. I'm building Rilda, a performance intelligence app for female athletes that translates wearable and cycle data into actionable, physiology-specific insights.
