About Me

I'm a passionate AI Engineering student at TOBB University of Economics and Technology, specializing in Generative AI and intelligent systems. My focus is on building AI agents that bridge natural language and complex technical workflows.

I'm deeply experienced in LLMs, RAG systems, Knowledge Graphs, and AI orchestration frameworks. I've built Karien, an AI operating system interface that demonstrates my expertise in creating production-ready AI applications with real-world impact.

Currently seeking international AI/ML internship opportunities where I can contribute to cutting-edge Gen AI projects and learn from industry leaders.
