About

First and foremost, I am a leader and entrepreneur. I am also a computer engineer. Still ongoing, throughout my entire learning life, I have always been and continue to be intertwined with technology and its derivatives.

I thrive creating scalable engineering environments and processes with strong vision and solid fundamentals to enable businesses and fuel innovation.

AI Engineer at Hisar Hospital Intercontinental, Co-Founder & CTO of Ablacım and student in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at Boğaziçi University.

I build clinical automation systems using FastAPI, OCR, Speech-to-Text, and RAG — as well as AI-powered product platforms.

Graduated 1st in class from Beykent University Computer Engineering. Former TÜBİTAK intern, Aikido black belt, and competitive robotics participant (TEKNOFEST, European Rover Challenge).

Location: Istanbul · Available for: open source, collaborations

2025 – Present
Co-Founder & CTO
Ablacım · Istanbul, Turkey
I built Turkey's first AI-powered palm reading platform from the ground up — users hold their hand to the camera and receive a 3,000+ word personalized life reading within minutes. I designed and deployed the full backend architecture using a vision-capable LLM, MongoDB Atlas vector search, and a LangGraph multi-node pipeline, alongside a custom “Abla” AI persona with a prompt engineering framework and a multi-layer guardrail system. I architected the payment-based SaaS model and reduced per-user API costs by ~70% through vision report caching. Targeting Turkey's 35M+ active astrology and mystical content users.
