About

I’m Yigit Can Ozkaya, an Applied AI/ML engineer with an MSc in Artificial Intelligence from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. I have 2+ years of experience building production-grade web software and ML-enabled systems, with a strong frontend background in Angular, TypeScript, and RxJS. I’m actively developing expertise in LLM systems (RAG, evaluation) and automated program repair.

As the co-founder of Yousha, I lead end-to-end projects from generation pipelines to print fulfillment, delivering personalized children’s books. I built the core platform (Node/Express backend, Redis-based task/state handling, deployments on Railway), added product analytics with PostHog, and designed scalable pipelines to generate print-ready assets and fulfil printer orders. I also pursued research at Capisoft as a thesis intern, focusing on automated program repair with Code-LLMs and developing an evaluation harness for retrieval-augmented repair methods.
