About Byte-Pulse
Byte-Pulse is an independent technology newsroom based in Leverkusen, Germany. We cover what actually ships — new AI tools, hardware releases, game launches, mobile devices, security incidents, EV market moves — across the European and global tech ecosystem. Every story is checked against its original source before publish.
Our editorial system runs a four-stage pipeline: a drafter writes the long-form version, an editor cuts it to publish length, a fact-checker pressure-tests every claim against the original source, and a copy editor polishes for clarity. The result is consistent — long enough to give context, short enough to read in one sitting, and verifiable through the source link on every article.
The publication is run by Serhat Er, founder of BRL Vision Solutions (augmented reality for SMB customers), with 12+ years across telecommunications, hardware logistics, automotive aftermarket and AR/VR product development. We write for people who actually use the tools we cover — engineers, makers, IT decision-makers and tech-curious readers — not for the press-release recycling machine. No paywall. No hype. The sources are linked and the original publishers credited on every article.
