A growth chamber in a refugee camp should be built to the same standard as a control system in a power plant.

An app for the ADHD brain should understand how that brain actually works.

That’s CognaWorks.

A Canadian technology company based in Ottawa.

Autonomous agriculture for humanitarian deployment. Executive function tools for the ADHD brain. Every system designed to the same safety-critical standard.

Leadership

Ahmet Mikail Bayindir

Founder & Director

Born in Turkey.

Built his first autonomous growth system at sixteen. Researched microgreen nutrition at a pharmacy lab. Gold medal at an international science olympiad.

Moved to Canada.

Spent a year volunteering with an organization that settles refugees in Ottawa. Fixed their computers. Learned who they were. Understood what they needed.

Then built technology to feed them.

Lives with ADHD. Built an executive function system designed for how that brain actually works.

The products speak for themselves.

Muhammet Furkan Yalcin

Co-Founder & Electrical Engineer, ReliefSense

Electrical engineering at Carleton University.

Embedded systems. PCB design. FPGA verification. The kind of engineering where a mistake doesn’t throw an error — it burns a board.

He builds the layer where code meets the physical world. The sensors. The actuators. The circuits that have to work at 50°C in a dust storm and at −40°C in an arctic winter.

If the software is the brain of ReliefSense, Furkan is building its nervous system.
