About

I’m an Architect and Computational Designer specialized in parametric modeling, digital fabrication, and design visualization. I help architecture studios and design teams develop complex 3D geometries, Grasshopper definitions, and presentation models — bridging creative design with advanced digital workflows. Skilled in Rhino, Grasshopper, Adobe Suite, Enscape, and digital fabrication tools, I support projects from early concept design to detailed visualization. My freelance collaborations include firms in the U.S., Belgium, and Portugal, working remotely on architectural and computational design projects. Graduated with honors from Yıldız Technical University and earned an MSc from Pratt Institute, receiving the Academic Excellence Award. Based in Spain (Digital Nomad Visa) and Turkey, available for remote work and in-person collaboration across EU. I’m always open to freelance collaborations or short-term remote partnerships with studios seeking Rhino/Grasshopper expertise, parametric design support, or visualization assistance. 📩 Feel free to connect or reach out for collaborations or project inquiries.
