What I'm looking for

I'm open to full-time remote or contract work in EMEA or worldwide, with overlap across the full European day and US mornings.

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.
