Kagithane, Istanbul · Open to Opportunities

Full-stack roots.
AI/ML destination.

I started by building products: deployed full-stack apps, real-time systems, mobile apps. Then, during an internship, a mentor showed me the AI side. I never looked back. Now I am an AI Engineering trainee (top 120 from 8,000+ applicants), building RL agents, completing an NLP capstone on Turkish dialogue, and I can still ship the backend.

Projects Shipped

From shipping products
to teaching machines.

I started as a full-stack developer: building real products, learning how systems work end-to-end. That foundation gave me something most ML engineers lack: I can ship.

During my internship at Çizgi Technology, I worked alongside an AI Research Engineer who redirected my entire trajectory. The problems I found most compelling were all on the AI side: autonomous systems, language models, intelligent pipelines.

I am a double major at Bahçeşehir University (Computer Engineering + Management Engineering), advancing through two competitive national AI programs, and looking for a team where I can contribute to real AI/ML work.
