About Me

I am currently pursuing my Master of Science in Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. With a strong foundation in Computer Engineering from Bilkent University, I have developed a diverse skillset ranging from backend development to machine learning research.

My experience includes working on large-scale distributed systems, developing AI models for bioinformatics and computer vision, and teaching complex computer science concepts. I am driven by curiosity and a desire to solve challenging problems.
