01About

Engineer with one foot in research, one in production.

I'm a Computer Engineer from Özyeğin University, graduated January 2026 with an Artificial Intelligence specialization. My senior project — fine-tuning CycleGAN-Turbo for pixel-art style transfer on a 6,000-image unpaired dataset — sharpened my intuition for generative models and the realities of training deep networks at scale.

Alongside the ML work, I've shipped production code in C#, ASP.NET, and Angular at VeriPark (fintech) and rebuilt a Unity educational game at Wroftech. That mix means I can prototype a model in a notebook and ship the service that serves it.

Open to AI/ML engineering, computer vision, and .NET roles — internship or full-time starting early 2026.

Pixel-Art Image Translation with CycleGAN-Turbo

Fine-tuned CycleGAN-Turbo for real-image → pixel-art style transfer. Built a 6,000-image unpaired dataset, ran 10+ training experiments comparing preprocessing and loss configurations, and implemented edge filtering + palette-loss modifications for contour simplification and color consistency. Trained on Colab A100 after hitting RTX 3070 memory limits.
