/about

I'm a machine learning engineer working remotely from Turkey, and a consultant to R&D Centers on AI and ML. I hold a degree in Computer Engineering and I'm currently pursuing my Master's in Artificial Intelligence.

/tech

I've been a Linux user since 2016. The journey has been long — from Mint to Arch, a detour through NixOS (beautiful pain), a macOS era (M1 was magic), and finally back home to Arch + Hyprland. Freedom matters. Window managers matter.

distro_hop.sh

$[2016] Linux Mint # the beginning

$[2016] Ubuntu # the obvious next

$[2016] Pop!_OS # the hyped children

$[2016] Fedora # usable, but not fresh

$[2016] Manjaro # intro to arch, but gentle

$[2017] Arch Linux # the real deal

$[2020] NixOS # beautiful pain

$[2021] macOS (M1) # incredible harware

$[2022] Arch (again) # yearning freedom

$[2022] macOS (M1) # disgusting software, but unbeatable harware

$[2025] Arch + Hyprland # returning home

Languages I enjoy

Python C Rust Zig Odin OCaml Lua JS/TS

I try every paradigm. Systems programming, functional, scripting — understanding the spectrum makes you a better engineer. I create things from scratch to understand them from first principles, it takes time, but it's worth it.

cs_amazement.log

The first thing that amazed me in CS was the linked list — this elegant, recursive data structure where every node points to the next. Then automata theory: the idea that a simple machine with states and transitions could model computation itself.

ai_amazement.log

In AI, autoencoders blew my mind — the idea that a network could learn to compress and reconstruct, discovering the essence of data. And GANs: two networks battling each other, creating something from nothing. Adversarial creation is pure genius.

~# I value my time more as I age

~# I don't have enough time to configure everything.

~# I need things delivered, but I must be able to change them.

~# Helix game me the balance of freedom, and sanity

/work

Machine Learning Engineer

Remote · Turkey

Building and deploying ML systems in production. Working across the full stack of machine learning — data pipelines, model training, deployment, and monitoring. Remote work suits my nature: I focus on the work, not the office.

AI/ML Consultant

R&D Centers · Turkey

Advising R&D Centers on artificial intelligence and machine learning strategy, research direction, and implementation. Bridging the gap between cutting-edge research and practical engineering solutions.

M.Sc. Artificial Intelligence

Ongoing

Deepening my understanding of AI from the mathematical foundations upward. Because you can't truly engineer what you don't deeply understand.
