About

I am an engineer with a background in Artificial Intelligence, telecommunications systems, and software development, with experience spanning AI-driven network architectures, multi-agent systems, and C++/Python software engineering. With a Master's degree from Sabancı University and a Bachelor's degree from TOBB University of Economics & Technology, I have demonstrated a commitment to excellence throughout my academic journey. During my career, I have worked on both research-oriented and engineering-focused projects, particularly in the context of next-generation communication systems and AI-enabled network automation. As a senior 6G researcher in Turkcell, I contributed to AI-driven concepts for future telecom networks, including agent-based service orchestration and multi-agent LLM-driven diagnostics architectures. My work involved analyzing 6G network architectures and autonomous AI agent paradigms, as well as contributing to discussions in international standardization environments such as 3GPP and GSMA. Previously at Siemens, I worked as a software developer focusing on C/C++ systems development for industrial networking solutions. My work included developing features for a PROFINET-based PLC simulator, implementing secure communication mechanisms, and building tools in Python to support development and testing workflows. My academic work for my MSc thesis focused on AI and networked systems, where I designed and evaluated graph-based multi-agent control frameworks for next-generation networks using machine learning and viability theory. I implemented the proposed framework using ML libraries in Python (PyTorch, Tensorflow, scikit-learn etc.) and obtained numerical results.
