Applied AI · Machine Learning · Data Science. M.Sc. student in Data Science & Big Data at Yıldız Technical University; B.Sc. in Physics Engineering, ranked 1st in my department.
I like problems where careful measurement decides what works: fine-tuning and evaluating speech recognition, retrieval systems with clear evidence, and statistical modelling.
| Project | What it does | Stack |
|---|---|---|
| Turkish speech recognition (Veribase internship) | Fine-tuned Whisper on call-center audio: 50.18% → 25.09% Micro-WER on a locked test set | PyTorch, Hugging Face, faster-whisper, Gradio |
| AI Research Assistant | RAG assistant with source-cited answers, calculator and date tools, and an evaluation benchmark | FastAPI, Qdrant, SQLite, Gemini API, Streamlit |
| LearnOS | Turns PDFs, notes and videos into study plans for AI tutors; LLM-free topic segmentation | FastAPI, SQLite, NumPy, React |
| Grid load forecasting | STL + SARIMAX with stationarity and residual diagnostics | statsmodels |
| Flight anomaly detection | PySpark + DBSCAN on OpenSky ADS-B data, Mahalanobis validation | PySpark, scikit-learn |
| Variational autoencoder | VAE theory, optimisation and implementation | PyTorch |
Also: customer segmentation (RFM + K-Means), a feature selection framework, and ICP plasma simulation in COMSOL Multiphysics.
