About

Developer & IT specialist based in Istanbul... at the intersection of Computational Intelligence and Operational Technology.

Your agentic AI obsessed developer/IT guy from Istanbul.

I build systems that are almost mathematically sane and almost architecturally robust. (You never know…)

I prioritize time-resistant fundamentals and the "genius math" of computing over industry trends.

I love creating dumpster fires just to delete them—or better, performing a 180 to convert a chaotic mess into a robust ecosystem.

Whether it’s CPU-optimized neural network PoCs or me playing with jumper cables on a cheap breadboard for fun, I build for the internal logic, not the "code” and whatever it’s equivalent is for colorful jumper cables.

I don’t share everything, but when I do, it’s an intentional experiment.

I also make sure my printer doesn’t make funny noises. If it does…

They are plenty in number, but not as much relevant for a professional setting.
