About

I am a Computer Engineering student at Istanbul Aydin University, deeply passionate about how technology and artificial intelligence shape the future. Currently, my primary focus is on developing AI-powered applications, combining technical theory with hands-on development to build practical, intelligent solutions. Alongside my technical path, I have a strong background in leadership and ecosystem management. As a former LCVP at AIESEC in Istanbul West, I led teams, managed international exchange operations, and drove marketing and partnership strategies. This experience sharpened my strategic thinking, cross-cultural communication, and project management skills. Curious, adaptable, and impact-driven, I am motivated to build human-centered AI software and continuously grow at the intersection of software engineering and technology entrepreneurship.
