02About & Experience

I focus on building clean, high-performance software that solves real problems and works reliably in production.

I am a software engineering student who learns by building projects. I have developed a computer vision road safety system for autonomous driving, an ongoing 360° virtual tour platform with inventory tracking, and custom management panels for local businesses.

My focus is on the intersection of AI and working systems — Python and YOLO on one side, and building web platforms alongside language models on the other. Currently, I am completing my 20-day mandatory software engineering internship at İSKİ Software Branch Directorate.
