The people behind Rihlix
Two builders. One shared conviction — that the right engagement loop can change what people do every day.
Kaan is a Data Science major and Pre-Med student at UNC Chapel Hill, currently studying abroad at Korea University in Seoul. He combines technical expertise in machine learning and statistical modeling with a deep commitment to community impact — co-founding Blossom Together, an international humanitarian nonprofit that has funded 100+ cataract surgeries and built clean water wells across Africa, and architecting Meselem's Islamic learning curriculum. He holds a CNA-1 license and has clinical experience spanning the US, Germany, and South Korea.
LinkedIn ProfileMurat is the product and design mind behind Rihlix's gamification engine. He architects the reward systems, retention mechanics, and user experience that make Meselem and Nomademy genuinely engaging — drawing on deep expertise in game design, mobile UX, and behavioral psychology. He has studied engagement loops from leading games and apps including Duolingo, Fortnite, and Genshin Impact, and applies those principles to platforms that serve real learning outcomes.
LinkedIn ProfileBuilder-first from day one
We believe the best products come from founders who stay close to the user, ship fast, and iterate relentlessly.
Mission-driven
Both founders care deeply about the communities Meselem and Nomademy serve. This isn't a market opportunity — it's a problem we lived.
Evidence-based
Data science expertise, A/B testing, retention analysis, and behavioral research inform every product decision we make.
International perspective
Between us we've lived and worked across four countries. We build for global communities, not just domestic markets.
We're always looking for passionate builders
If you're a developer, designer, or operator who believes in what we're building — we'd love to hear from you.
