Built by a technician.
For technicians.
One person. 15 years working at height. A clear idea of what’s missing — and the engineering background to build it.
The person
behind Brope.
I started working at height in 2010 as a university student in Istanbul — industrial painting, rigging, cabling, installations. The jobs nobody else wanted. That’s where you learn what the industry actually looks like from the bottom up.
After graduating in Mechanical Engineering from Yildiz Technical University, I moved into fall arrest system design — CAD, testing, manufacturing, installation. I eventually led an engineering department developing safety equipment for national and international construction projects.
In 2021, I moved to Cardiff and founded Brope as an independent rope access operation in South Wales. IRATA Level 3. Level 3 confined space rescue. Direct clients and subcontract work across the region.
In 2025, I started building software. After years of using tools that weren’t built for the people doing the actual work, I decided to make them — EntryWatch for confined space Topmen, and Knotic for rope access technicians. No outside funding. No team. Just the problem and the experience to solve it.
Every tool I build comes from a problem I’ve stood in front of — at the top of a hole, on a rope, in the wind. That’s the difference.
15 years in the making.
From climbing ropes as a student to building the software the industry needs.
Started Rope Access
Began working at height as a university student in Istanbul. Did the jobs nobody else wanted — industrial painting, rigging, cabling, installations. Learned what the industry actually looks like from the bottom up.
Mechanical Engineering Degree
Graduated from Yildiz Technical University. Moved straight into fall arrest systems — design, CAD, testing, manufacturing, installation. Eventually led an engineering department developing safety equipment for national and international construction projects.
Moved to Cardiff. Founded Brope.
Fresh start. Went back to what felt honest — working at height with your own hands. Built Brope as an independent rope access operation in South Wales. IRATA Level 3. Level 3 confined space rescue. Direct clients and subcontract work across the region.
Started Building
After years of using tools that weren’t built for the people doing the actual work, started developing two apps — EntryWatch for confined space Topmen, and Knotic for rope access technicians. No outside funding. No team. Just the problem and the experience to solve it.
EntryWatch Launches
The first app goes live. Free for every Topman. Built around UK regulations. Works offline. No enterprise contract required.
Three things. Done properly.
Each one grounded in 15 years of working at height.
EntryWatch
The digital safety companion for confined space Topmen. Replaces paper checklists — offline-first, glove-friendly, built around the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997. Free for every Topman.
