About

Co-founder at Hilbert. Building the world's first generalizable AI-native growth infra at Hilbert, where we’re redefining how companies dominate their industries through cutting-edge AI and Deep Learning. By combining deep learning algorithms (prediction at scale) with LLM-based applications (execution at scale), we close the loop between insight and action. I enjoy learning and thinking about stuff.

  • Getir (4 yrs 8 mos)
    • Senior Software Engineer, Python
      Apr 2023 - Oct 2023 · 7 mos

      Designed and implemented high-performance vehicle routing and order assignment systems powering Getir and GetirMore operations — responsible for real-time order acceptance, courier assignment, and estimated delivery time (EDT) predictions at scale. Vehicle routing & assignment formulated as linear optimization problems, balancing courier utilization, delivery SLAs, and fleet capacity in real time Real-time decisioning infrastructure handling order flow at Getir's operational scale with sub-second latency requirements Future-aware assignment — integrated ML models predicting each online customer's order conversion probability, enabling the optimizer to reserve capacity for likely conversions rather than greedily assigning on current state alone Estimated delivery time (EDT) models surfaced to customers pre-checkout, main page and used internally as a core input to routing decisions
