Graduated as Top Student

I graduated from the Department of Computer Engineering at Atatürk University with a 3.64 / 4.00 cumulative GPA across 240 ECTS. My final grade was tied with the first-ranked student, placing second overall under the department’s tie-breaking criteria.

The coursework that paid the highest dividends was systems programming, operating systems, and computer networks. Understanding low-level hardware constraints, memory allocation, and concurrency made debugging real-world production systems during my engineering internship at Orion Innovation much more intuitive.

During my senior year, that foundation supported both shipping real-time communications software and conducting capstone research on deep-learning models for medical imaging. The five semester distinctions earned throughout my studies reflect that steady focus across each academic term.
