SesOl
Recognises 226 signs from the AUTSL dataset using 48 MediaPipe landmarks from the hands and upper body: a GCN for spatial structure, a Bi-LSTM for motion. I led planning, task split, integration and code review.

Selected work
Things I've built & helped build
ModernBERT-TR
An academic study introducing a 149.4M-parameter Turkish encoder with an 8,192-token context, along with open downstream models and new Turkish datasets (Guardrail-TR, ABSA-TR). It also reports benchmarks against existing Turkish encoders and findings on checkpoint merging. I worked on fine-tuning the downstream models.

DEFFBOSS
A six-class detector for knives, firearms and physical fights. I worked on data collection, processing and training; phones, remotes and non-violent contact got their own classes to cut false alarms. 88.37% mAP@50 on validation.

Tabio
An agent for a multi-tenant POS: natural-language request → validated plan → user approval → safe execution → audit log & undo. The model can only pick from a closed command catalogue, and sales figures are computed by deterministic code.

Airline Management System
A small Java desktop app for flights and bookings, with thread-safe seat reservations.
What I'm into
The parts of AI I can't stop poking at
Computer vision
Object detection with YOLO, skeleton-based gesture recognition with MediaPipe and graph neural networks.
Turkish NLP
Dataset curation and fine-tuning for Turkish language models, adapting recent research to how Turkish actually works.
AI agents
Agents that plan, ask for approval and act safely, with validation and audit trails around every step.
Teaching & community
Running ML and NLP training with scikit-learn and PyTorch, mentoring teams and organising events with GDG.
