I build software across AI, robotics, and the full stack. Now deepening the robotics side with an MSc at KIT.

About

I'm a Master's student in Computer Science at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, going deep on AI and robotics. Before that I earned my Bachelor's in Computer Engineering at Middle East Technical University in Turkey, with an exchange semester at the University of Alberta in Canada.

Previously I worked at TechNarts as a software engineer across backend and frontend. I also interned at Beko, where I built a Python tool that replaced a boring manual workflow.
