S9 Bonus: Implementing Automated Subtitle Alignments, Cross-Lingual Vocal Emotion Synthesis, and Cloud-Native Collaborative Editing Suites with Berkay Atatop, Co-Founder & CEO of Maestra

Berkay Atatop is originally from Turkey, but now lives in Germany. He loves to travel, and living in Germany allows him to be close to family, but enable him to live a nomadic life. He split his college time in Turkey and America, and while he was stateside, he discovered hackathons - which is the origin spot for his current venture. Outside of tech, he played water polo for 10 years, and enjoys playing the guitar. He finds inspiration in bands like Pearl Jam, who is coming to Europe soon, which Berkay is excited about.

After getting into hackathons, Berkay and his co-founder built a prototype of their current company solution - an automatic transcription solution for voiceovers. Once they graduated, they decided to start a company and move into subtitles and beyond.

This is the creation story of Maestra.
