What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Product and Data Analytics Professional with a strong foundation in industrial engineering from the Middle East Technical University. My journey has been marked by a commitment to leveraging data-driven insights to enhance product performance and operational efficiency. Currently, I serve as a Junior Data Scientist at invent.ai, where I drive product improvements through meticulous analysis of user feedback and product metrics, collaborating with cross-functional teams to implement technical requirements.
My previous experiences include working as a logistics intern at Procter & Gamble, where I led a data analysis project for material optimization, and as a working student at Philip Morris International, where I contributed to logistics data analysis and process improvements. I have also co-founded the METU Artificial Intelligence Society, fostering a community of over 500 individuals passionate about AI. My achievements in various competitions, including securing third place in the Generation Data Days Jotform Datathon, reflect my ability to apply analytical skills effectively in real-world scenarios.
