What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and allow me to grow my technical and entrepreneurial skills.

My name is Elshad Toklayev, and I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering with a focus on Artificial Intelligence at Koç University. I have a strong academic background, having graduated from FMV Ayazaga Isik High School with a GPA of 95/100 and receiving the International Baccalaureate Diploma. My education has equipped me with a solid foundation in programming languages such as Python and Java, as well as critical skills in data structures, algorithms, and digital systems design.

In addition to my academic achievements, I have gained practical experience through various internships and projects. As a Software Engineer Intern at Flame Lion in London, I honed my debugging and testing skills, applying my knowledge of Python to improve software performance. I am also a proud member of the KUAIRS team at Koç University, where I am involved in developing a fully autonomous drone for the TeknoFest competition, focusing on innovative drone detection algorithms. Furthermore, I founded and currently serve as the CEO of Outdoor Structure Supply, an LLC specializing in eCommerce, where I leverage my entrepreneurial spirit and marketing expertise to drive business growth.
