Applied ML and computer vision engineer building UAV damage-detection pipelines, including a three-stage system running at 61 FPS on CPU.
What I'm looking for
I built and open-sourced a three-stage UAV infrastructure-inspection pipeline that classifies and segments damage, then produces severity-coded maps and structured reports. Its CPU inference runs at 61 FPS, and I published the failure analysis alongside the results.
With FAR, I designed and shipped an algorithmic market-research platform using Next.js, Supabase and Cloudflare. I audited its published track record, identified a replication artifact, and withdrew claims that did not meet sample-size thresholds.
At Standbul, I currently direct operations, strategic planning and business development for a multidisciplinary engineering firm, managing teams of 10–50 across concurrent projects. I lead client discovery, proposals, demonstrations and delivery, and have deployed digital systems for CRM, project tracking and analytics.
Earlier, as a Civil Engineer & Technical Adviser at Pyramid Paydar Arya Co., I produced structural design packages and reviewed civil design and survey documentation. My engineering foundation includes an MSc in Offshore Engineering from Istanbul Technical University, with thesis work coupling wind-turbine simulations and 3D finite-element analysis.
