I'm a Statistics student at Yıldız Technical University, interested in data science, AI tools, and everything in between. I love turning ideas into projects — from an AI news dashboard to a price-tracking bot.

ABOUT ME

A Statistics student at Yıldız Technical University, building at the intersection of data, Python and AI tools.

I learn by building — every new concept I meet ends up inside a real project.

My journey started with statistics and quickly grew into hands-on projects: an AI news dashboard, price and weather bots, a browser extension, an AI discovery platform and this website itself. I work with AI-assisted development — directing modern AI coding tools with precise prompts, then reviewing and debugging the results myself. That mix of statistical thinking and practical building is what I bring to everything I make.

// Why Me

WHY ME?

Perfectionist at heart

I’d rather do one thing exactly right than five things halfway.

9 projects in 20 days

During my Turkuvaz Media internship I shipped 9 personal projects — roughly one every two days.

Calm under pressure

Handled up to 150–160 customer tickets a day at Uyumsoft during peak periods, without letting service quality slip.

Quality-obsessed

My side projects carry 170+ automated tests — I hold personal work to the same bar as production code.

Learn by building

I don’t just read about a new AI tool — I ship a small project with it the same week.

Numbers meet code

A statistics background paired with hands-on Python — I bring data thinking and shipped software together.
