Hello! I’m Baran Taciyildiz, an AI Engineer from Istanbul, Turkey. I build AI solutions with a focus on image processing, natural language processing, and large language models. I enjoy turning data into practical AI applications and love learning new techniques in ML. In 2025 I participated in TEKNOFEST 2025 national competition, where our team developed an image-processing project and explored fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and chain-of-thought (CoT) methods for large language models. I’ve led project coordination, data collection, and model development and tuning, and I’m eager to keep growing in AI, ML and data science while delivering real-world impact.
