Istanbul — turning language models into products, building intelligent systems.

I entered the AI world through the AILA project in 2024. I knew almost nothing about these technologies at the start — I learned everything by trying, failing, and rebuilding from scratch. Today, as an AI Engineering intern at Halkbank, I integrate large language models into real banking processes — working across agentic workflows, retrieval systems, and model evaluation pipelines. Shaping how intelligent systems think, communicate, and behave is not just a profession for me — it's a genuine curiosity.
