I built CICO, an AI-powered real estate mobile application, with a native iOS experience. The project won first place at FutureMinds’25 AI Hackathon.

For CICO, I trained and ran a custom Qwen2.5 7B model on a Python Flask backend and converted 2D floor plans into interactive 3D models. I also added voice assistance in Turkish, English, and Russian.

As a Software Engineer Intern at METU, Computer Center, I built the university mobile app from start to finish, designed its UI, connected backend services, and set up its App Store and Play Store release process.

My projects also include a YOLOv8 football player detection system, AI chatbots, and an Android marketplace app. As Founder–President of METU AI Community, I help students explore AI and software careers through guidance and real examples.
