What I'm looking for

I’m open to data science, ML/AI engineering, and software roles across industries.

At Amsterdam UMC, I built a calibrated XGBoost model to predict 30-day post-discharge mortality for patients aged 70+, using 172,575 admissions. I engineered clinically justified features from raw EHR tables and reached an AUROC of 0.898, outperforming the LACE and HOSPITAL scores.

In my research and projects, I’ve applied machine learning to biomedical alloys and genetic variants, and I’m building SurgEvidence, a prototype for surgical-video question answering that grounds answers in retrieved video segments. At the KKB Hackathon, I built the orchestration and time-series tools for a Turkish-language financial analysis agent that independently verifies every published number.

I’m a Computer Science and Engineering student at Sabancı University, graduating in June 2027, and I’m open to data science, ML/AI engineering, and software roles across industries. I also build full-stack applications with Django REST Framework and React.
