ABOUT
I combine technical curiosity with research, exploration and building.
I am a fourth-year Computer Engineering student at KTO Karatay University. At the intersection of artificial intelligence, modelling and simulation, and autonomous systems, I focus on building solutions that turn data into meaningful decisions, account for real system constraints and produce measurable results. Across research, algorithm design, system optimization and software development, I am especially drawn to the full process of taking a problem from the right model to a testable and practical system.
My Erasmus experience in Italy showed me how much exploring different cultures, ways of working and perspectives can expand both personal and technical vision. Seeing new places, gaining new experiences and discovering the world is not a temporary curiosity for me; it is a long-term motivation that continuously shapes how I think and build.
