Work Experience

Artificial Intelligence Researcher at British Telecom
September 1, 2025 - August 4, 2025
Conduct research on automated auditing of physical actions by developing a system to check if field engineers follow the correct procedures. The system utilizes Vision Transformers to classify and embed action images, combined with spaCy, cross encoder, and large language models to analyze textual descriptions of actions. This system classifies action sequences into task categories and provides feedback by comparing actual performance to ground truth using LLMs.
Full Stack Developer at BİSOFT BİLGİ TEKNOLOJİLERİ A.Ş
September 1, 2024 - August 4, 2025
Developed a Manufacturing Execution System to solve production overlap issues and boost factory efficiency. Built backend with Java Spring Boot, frontend with Vue.js, and integrated optimization logic using OptaPlanner and MiniZinc. Also contributed to Vispeahen, a data visualization and BI tool used by 50+ companies, improving both frontend with React.js and backend with Java and Python. Developed a secure Local Chatbot for internal PDF Q&A that processes embeddings with a local FAISS index and GPT-4All, running within a Dockerized REST API. Managed full project lifecycle during R&D phase.
Long Term Intern at BÜYÜTECH
August 1, 2022 - August 4, 2025
Developed an embedded camera system for traffic sign detection and recognition using trained models. Applied transfer learning with new real-world data to improve model accuracy. Utilized Python and C++ efficiently while comparing multiple training models to select the most accurate one.
