About Me

I'm a machine learning and software engineer based in Istanbul. I work as an ML Engineer at Buluttan Weather Intelligence on site-specific weather forecasting, after two years there as a fullstack engineer. I graduated from Sabancı University in Computer Science and Engineering in 2025, and I build apps like Kelime Masası and Voicerr on the side.

  • Proficient in Python, Flutter, and modern web frameworks
  • Like self-hosted systems, Linux environments, and home labs
  • Explore tools and workflows that make systems easier to manage
  • Enjoy tinkering with Raspberry Pis and Arduinos in my spare time
