Work Experience

Scientific Researcher & Data Analyst at Middle East Technical University
May 1, 2023 - Present
Co-led a data analytics work package for a 17-partner international consortium, ensuring data consistency and reporting across partners. Designed and developed an interactive project platform (Figma, HTML, CSS, JS) to visualize performance metrics, serving as a key decision-support tool for stakeholders. Engineered Python scripts to parametrically simulate 20,000+ scenarios to generate a massive synthetic dataset used to train ML models for predictive analysis with 99% accuracy. Developed a Python-based algorithm integrating PVWatts to calculate energy output KPIs, integrated into a Multi-criteria Decision-Making platform powered by NSGA-II genetic algorithm, and validated across five pilot areas. First-authored technical deliverables and contributed to six analytical reports, translating complex data into actionable insights.
Computational Designer and Analyst at Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK)
October 1, 2021 - May 1, 2025
Developed Python algorithms to process geospatial and energy data for over 10,000 building units across five distinct regions. Utilized data modeling to identify retrofit solutions that satisfied 85% of annual demand targets, achieving up to 180% efficiency in optimal scenarios. Created detailed data visualizations and demand graphics using Matplotlib for complex clusters (257+ units) to communicate results to focus groups and support strategic planning. Contributed to technical deliverables and analytical reports within research projects.
