I build end-to-end machine learning systems β€” from raw data to deployed products.

01. Who Am I?

I'm a 4th-year Industrial Engineering student at Istanbul Technical University (ITU), with a completed B.Sc. in Shipbuilding & Ocean Engineering. I specialize in building production-ready ML systems with real business impact β€” from fuel efficiency forecasting for shipping fleets to customer booking prediction for airlines.

My edge? I combine strong domain knowledge in shipping and finance with hands-on ML engineering skills. I don't just build models β€” I deploy them, visualize them, and make them useful for real decisions.
