02Profile
The person behind the route.
Computer Engineering student at Sivas Cumhuriyet University, specializing in artificial intelligence and embedded systems.
I have led and worked in engineering teams at TEKNOFEST, worked on computer vision for an interceptor drone in Barcelona, and currently contribute to research at UCL and FHNW. Outside the lab I teach AI and build communities around technology.

04Signal Path
From silicon to decision.
AI and embedded systems are one pipeline to me: a signal leaves a sensor, crosses silicon and firmware, becomes a decision in a model, and returns to the world as motion.
