About

AI engineer with 3+ years of experience. Designing and building AI systems at scale. Interested in Natural Language Processing, Cognitive Science, and Finance. Based in İzmir.

Engineering fit me. Mechanical engineering did not. I left it for psychology, where I met cognitive science and then data science. Machine learning and deep learning followed, and then language models.
