Istanbul, Türkiye
Software Engineer with strong delivery ownership across backend systems, cybersecurity products, and applied AI R&D. Proven track record of taking complex projects from concept to production—building scalable services with Java/Spring patterns, shipping enterprise-grade SOAR capabilities, and leading teams in Generative AI / ML problem solving. Comfortable across product engineering, architecture, and operations in cloud/Linux environments.
- Built and evolved AI-driven products end-to-end: architecture, backend services, integrations, deployment workflows, and operational readiness. Developed AI Helpdesk capabilities, including: - Ticket triage automation, intent classification, summarization, suggested replies, and knowledge-base assisted responses. Retrieval-augmented workflows (RAG) to ground outputs in internal documentation and prior cases. - Admin tooling and observability-friendly services for production support. Delivered CTI platform work such as: -Data ingestion and normalization pipelines, enrichment workflows, indicator lifecycle management, and analysis-friendly storage patterns. - Scanning/monitoring modules (where applicable) to turn raw signals into actionable security outputs. Implemented GenAI solutions for business and engineering teams: - LLM-powered assistants for internal operations, reporting, and decision support. - Evaluation loops and quality controls (prompt/versioning, regression checks, guardrails) to keep outputs stable.
- Led R&D team focused on AI-driven problem solving, Generative AI, and applied ML initiatives from ideation to implementation. - Owned delivery execution: backlog shaping, task breakdown, sprint coordination, risk management, and stakeholder alignment. - Supported prototyping and productionization efforts using Node.js and Python, including experimentation pipelines and service integration. - Worked with Google Cloud services for AI workloads and deployments (managed AI/ML services), contributing to scalable, maintainable R&D outputs. - Established working rhythms and technical documentation to improve repeatability, team efficiency, and handoffs.
- Worked as a backend-focused developer on a SOAR product developed to align with NATO-grade expectations and enterprise security workflows. - Took the SOAR platform from a concept/prototype into a production-ready product, helping define the architecture, core modules, and integration strategy. - Built and improved orchestration/automation workflows (playbooks), incident/case flows, and integration points for real-world operational use. - Delivered the product to run in high-demand environments - Tech stack: .NET MVC backend, React frontend, JointJS-based visual workflow/editor components; enterprise-grade maintainability and operational readiness.
- Built backend services with Java + Spring Boot as the primary stack, contributing to core service development and feature delivery. - Worked with event-driven and high-throughput components using RabbitMQ, Redis, and Kafka for messaging, caching, and streaming patterns. - Contributed to two major projects: -Cryptocurrency exchange platform: backend services, transaction-related flows, stability-focused delivery. -Chat application: real-time/backend features and supporting services with reliability and performance in mind. - Supported Linux-based environments and release readiness through debugging, operational fixes, and documentation.
