Building AI systems across biomedical signals, embedded hardware, and applied research.
Electrical & Computer Engineering student with a systems-level perspective on intelligent systems. I work where software meets hardware - from signal processing and medical AI to real-time embedded applications. I also lead Atılım University's AI community and teach workshops on practical AI tooling.
About
Who I am
I'm an engineer who is most comfortable at intersections. My academic path spans electrical engineering, computer engineering, and mechanical engineering. Not out of indecision, but because the systems I care about don't respect discipline boundaries. An EEG acquisition pipeline touches analog electronics, signal processing, and machine learning in the same afternoon.
I focus on AI systems, biomedical signals, and embedded hardware. My work tends to involve real implementation: running models on constrained devices, designing data pipelines that hold up beyond a notebook demo, and writing code that another person can actually reproduce. I think about systems before I think about tools.
Outside of engineering work, I founded and run the AI community at Atılım University, where I organize workshops and teach practical AI skills to students across departments, alongside many projects and events. I care about making technical knowledge accessible, not simplified, but clearly communicated.

Experience
Professional background
Engineering Intern
ASELSAN
Gained applied engineering experience at one of Türkiye's leading defense and technology companies. Worked within real engineering teams on technical problems with production-level constraints and standards on AI and Hardware.
Engineering Intern - EV Charging & Test Verification
UMAY Tech
Worked on electric vehicle charger systems with a focus on testing and verification engineering. Gained hands-on experience with practical electronics, test protocols, and product-level validation processes. Alongside said experiences, here i gained my first on field engineering experience, fixing EV chagers in constrained environments.
Leadership & Teaching
Community and knowledge sharing
Founder & Community Leader
Atılım AI - Atılım University AI Community
Founded and lead the AI community at Atılım University. I organize technical events, coordinate outreach across departments, and work to build a culture around practical, accessible AI knowledge. The community brings together students from different engineering disciplines to learn, build, and share.
Workshop Instructor
Prompt Engineering & Applied AI
I design and deliver workshops on prompt engineering, AI tooling, and practical applications of large language models. My focus is on giving people working fluency with these tools - not just awareness, but usable skill. I teach to mixed technical audiences and enjoy the challenge of translating complexity into clarity.
President
Atılım Robotics Community - Atılım University
Served as president of the robotics community at Atılım University, coordinating technical projects, team organization, and event planning. The role strengthened my ability to manage engineering-focused groups and bridge mechanical, electrical, and software disciplines within a single team.
Focus
What I work on
AI Systems
Designing and implementing machine learning pipelines with emphasis on reproducibility, practical deployment, and measurable outcomes beyond proof-of-concept.
Biomedical Signals
Working with EEG, EMG, and physiological data - from signal acquisition and preprocessing through to classification and research-oriented analysis.
Embedded Systems
Building on constrained hardware where software performance, power, and real-time requirements intersect. Comfortable across the hardware-software boundary.
Medical & Research ML
Applying machine learning to medical and biomedical domains using frameworks like PyTorch and MONAI, with attention to clinical relevance and data integrity.
Automation & Reproducibility
Building workflows that are automated, version-controlled, and reproducible. Strong preference for Linux-based environments and tool-assisted development.
Applied Electronics
Practical electronics experience including EV charging systems, test-verification processes, and the kind of structured engineering work that turns designs into products.
Approach
How I work
Systems thinking
I think in architectures, not individual scripts. Every component is part of a larger system, and I design accordingly.
Hardware-software fluency
I move between embedded firmware, signal chains, and high-level ML code. The vertical range is intentional.
Structured execution
I plan before I build. Clear milestones, documented decisions, and work that can be reviewed and handed off.
Implementation bias
I build working systems, not slide decks. If an idea doesn't run on real hardware or real data, it stays a sketch.
