I'm
Recently graduated in Computer Science from İhsan Doğramacı Bilkent University, with a strong background
in software development and AI-driven systems. Graduated with high honors from Lycée de Tevfik Fikret,
fluent in French (B2) and English (IELTS 7.0).
I enjoy working in multicultural environments and building meaningful projects with people who share the same passion for technology and innovation.

About Me
My introduction
I studied computer science at Bilkent University with hands-on experience in AI, backend development, and scalable system design. I have contributed to projects at Google Lens and Jotform, working on backend migration, confidence filtering algorithms, and real-time conversational AI systems. Skilled in C++, Python, Java, React, and Flask, I have developed full-stack applications, AI prototypes, and multimodal ML pipelines.
I enjoy building end-to-end applications and experimenting with new perspectives and technologies. Driven by curiosity and creativity, I bring a problem-solving mindset and a forward-thinking approach to every project I take on.

DaVinci AI Team
September 2024 - Now
Software Engineer
I architected and deployed to production supporting multi-language conversational AI voice agent systems featuring a sophisticated multi-agent architecture to provide rapid contextual responses, natural speech conversion with PII collection, real-time interruption detection, structured data gathering, and autonomous conversation management. Built a comprehensive real-time audio processing pipeline integrating STT and TTS services via bidirectional WebSocket streaming, implementing noise reduction methods, adaptive echo cancellation, and intelligent audio buffering with sentence-level segmentation. Designed dual-LLM provider architecture with automatic failover, per-agent model optimization, and cost tracking.

DaVinci AI Team
August - September 2024
Data Science Intern
I developed a pioneering Agent Builder prototype within the DaVinci AI team, enabling AI-powered form completion through a conversational interface. Designed and implemented the frontend for agent creation using HTML and CSS, capturing crucial parameters such as personality behavior, and knowledge base. Engineered complex backend logic with Flask to process user inputs and generate contextual responses. Implemented real-time messaging capabilities and robust error handling to enhance user experience. Spearheaded the development of a dynamic persona assignment system, significantly improving user engagement. Utilized Docker for containerization and GitHub for version control. Conducted thorough testing and optimization to ensure system reliability and performance under concurrent user loads.
Zurich, Switzerland
Google Lens Team
July - October 2023
Tech Intern
I had a role on Google Lens backend system migration. It was specifically focused on the confidence filters where the compatibility of the information obtained from the Lens ML models with the user input is evaluated. To achieve my project’s goal, I deprecated outdated python modules that perform manual filtering in the confidence filtering section and ensured a streamlined, updated codebase. I developed robust C++ filters specifically designed to manage and to improve confidence handling algorithms; conducted usability tests; upgraded and enhanced the infrastructure of Google Lens and contributed to significant improvements in the platform's performance and scalability.
Projects
Plutos Equities
Android Mobile Application
This project addresses transportation challenges on campus, where inconvenient shuttle schedules and insufficient services are common. Our goal is to create a safe and eco-friendly solution that connects students with personal vehicle owners heading in the same direction. By facilitating these connections, I aim to reduce the number of cars on the road while providing reliable rides for students. The app allows hitchhikers to post ride requests, which drivers can accept, with all interactions recorded for safety. This approach not only enhances transportation options but also fosters social interaction within the campus community.

Bilco
Web Application
This project aims to create a secondhand sales platform primarily for students, allowing them to buy and sell
items among each other.
Users can create posts for items they wish to sell, and other users can comment or send
purchase offers on these listings.
The platform also includes a lost and found feature, helping users reconnect with lost belongings.
A real-time chat feature enhances communication, making
negotiations easy and efficient.
The responsive design ensures a user-friendly experience across all devices, while
prioritizing data privacy to protect users’ personal information.

Pine
Programming Language
This project, Pine, is a fully functional programming language with distinctive features.
Its syntax is defined using BNF notation, which provides a clear and precise way to describe the language's
structure. To enhance its functionality, I utilized Lex for tokenization and Yacc for parsing, ensuring a
robust and efficient language framework. The combination of these tools allows for effective error handling
and enhances the overall performance of Pine, making it a powerful tool for developers.
