Building software systems,
growing into applied AI.
Games came first, then the question of how the software behind them actually worked. These days I build software, and more and more, the AI inside it.
I'm a Senior at Eastern Mediterranean University, studying Software Engineering and Computer Engineering as a double major. This summer I interned in the AI department at Kuzey Kıbrıs Turkcell, and I'm on the executive team of ÜNİDER, a student association in Northern Cyprus.
Competitions pushed my AI work forward. At Turkcell Yarının Teknoloji Liderleri 20261 I led my team to the finalist stage with “Akıllı Şehir Sağlık Haritası”, and at AI Future Minds'252 I captained the team behind a RAG-based kiosk assistant. In August I helped organize the first Kıbrıs Türk Üniversite Öğrencileri Kongresi3 and built its website.
