What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in AI and robotics, focusing on innovation and teamwork.

I'm an undergraduate researcher at Istanbul Technical University, specializing in artificial intelligence and data engineering. My passion lies in developing innovative solutions for UAV systems, where I've led teams to achieve top placements in international competitions. My experience includes working on reinforcement learning, computer vision, and real-time decision-making.

Throughout my academic journey, I've actively participated in various projects, such as creating deep learning models for sign language recognition and enhancing image classification through advanced algorithms. My dedication to research has been recognized with multiple awards, including first place at the Robonation SUAS competition and best design at TEKNOFEST.

In addition to my technical skills, I value teamwork and leadership, having mentored students in technology and innovation. I am eager to contribute to cutting-edge projects that push the boundaries of AI and robotics, while also fostering a collaborative and inclusive work environment.
