About

Engineer, researcher, and relentless builder.

Fifteen years of turning hard problems into working systems. I operate at the intersection of machine learning, software engineering, and robotics and I do it from Istanbul.

I completed my PhD in Mechanical Engineering at Marmara University, where I focused my research on Brain-Computer Interfaces and Artificial Intelligence. During my research, I developed a new real-time Brain-Computer Interface and two novel (NF-EEG & IS-EEG) AI models. These works were published in Q1 SCI-indexed journals, combining advanced engineering approaches with artificial intelligence to develop new solutions for human-machine interaction and intelligent systems.

Today, I'm the founder of Beexium and an Assistant Professor at Dicle University, where I also serve as Vice Dean of the Faculty of Engineering. My work spans AI model development, software engineering, robotics, control systems, and rapid prototyping. I build intelligent systems, write the software behind them, design the robots, and turn ideas into functional prototypes.

I often combine disciplines, from brain-computer interfaces and automation to computer-aided design, to create practical and innovative solutions. With degrees in engineering, business administration, and sociology, I design systems with the people who use them and the organizations that sustain them in mind, not just the technology. Beyond Beexium, I'm the founder of Techietory, Uniqartia, and Galakton, where I explore ideas, develop projects, and write about technology, engineering, and the rapidly changing world around us.

Beyond Work

What keeps me thinking outside the lab

The best engineering ideas often come from unexpected places. Here's where I go when I'm not at my desk.

Deep Reading

History of science, and the occasional novel that makes me late for meetings.

Trail Running

Anywhere with a good trail and a better view. No particular destination required.

Amateur Philosophy

Philosophy and sociology, especially how ideas, societies, and human behavior shape the way we understand the world and our place in it.

Music

Electric guitar and piano, mostly playing and experimenting with different styles. Years in, and I still find something new every time I play.

Want to work together?

I take on a small number of engagements each quarter. If you have a project that fits, I'd love to hear about it.
