About Me

I'm a third-year Software Engineering student at Istanbul Arel University on a full scholarship, admitted ranked first. What draws me isn't AI in theory but AI where it does something: modelling health data with graph neural networks, giving LLM-based agents a real job to do, and being able to explain why a model decided what it decided.

I'm the team captain of two TEKNOFEST projects. In VARIANT-GNN we classify genetic variants with a GNN + Ensemble architecture and make the decisions transparent with XAI (LIME) — our preliminary evaluation report scored 93/100. In the Language Agents project we're building an LLM-based agent system. Alongside these I work on biomarker analysis at TÜSEB and have applied to the Presidency of Defence Industries' quantum algorithm competition.

I like teaching what I learn: I'm an instructor at the T3 Foundation — teaching robotics coding and algorithmic thinking at Deneyap workshops, and covering electronics, programming and 3D design in the AI-based technology education program. I also mentor Dijital Kâşifler, a primary-school team; we cleared the first stage and are now in the second. This summer I'm interning at the Microsoft Volunteer Internship Program and the T3 Foundation simultaneously. I recently applied to the T3 Foundation's FPV drone training, passed the interview and was accepted; I'll be starting soon.
