Summary

Computer Engineering top graduate from Atatürk University (3.64 GPA, ranked second with a tied top grade). During my final semester, I worked on real-time messaging and VoIP calling as an Android intern at Orion Innovation. My recent research centers on prior-preserving oversampling and foundation model ensembles for ocular disease classification. I enjoy building reliable systems and practical developer tools.
