Seeking Full-time Opportunities in Software Development or Machine Learning. I specialize in Python and Typescript and have professional experience with Keras, Tensorflow, Kubernetes, Angular, and PHP. I am currently pursuing my Master's Degree in Computer Science at Politecnico di Milano and expect to graduate in October 2022. I believe I can adapt to different environments and tech stacks easily, thus I have experience with working with new technologies, monolithic systems, and microservices. I also enjoy reading tech books, watching conferences and I try to apply the principles learned from them to my code.
I am currently working as a freelancer, helping companies and startups build the products they need. Some of my work include:
Created a pipeline to enhance images and collect relevant product information with image processing, computer vision, machine learning, deep learning, SVM and random forests.
Also, I took part in development of some components and infrastructure tools for Business Intelligence.
I took an active role in improving varying microservices and modules of the infrastructure as a full-stack engineer (with a flavor of DevOps on Kubernetes).
I developed an app for search optimization and cluster management.
I have worked on a multisensor data fusion project by developing a simulation and middleware compliant to the OMG DDS (Data Distribution Service) standard for communication between different nodes.
I helped fellow engineering candidates from different departments to have a better grasp of C in the scope of METU CENG230 (Introduction to C Programming) course.
I have started my Master’s study at Milan Polytechnic University (Politecnico di Milano), specialized in Machine Learning.
cGPA: 3.54
I have graduated from METU CENG with a High Honor degree, and a ranking of 13 out of 207 students.

The topics that interest me professionally are system architecture design, DevOps, machine learning, data analytics and scripting languages.
Apart from the professional life; I am currently learning neuroscience and philosophy (Nietzsche is my favorite), I enjoy watching documentaries and sitcoms (mostly through Netflix), I listen to podcasts over Spotify (I would recommend Command Line Heroes and The Economist Radio) I play tennis and go skiing whenever I find the time for it.
My native language is Turkish, I am proficient in English (TOEFL: 113/120), I know Spanish enough to understand the language (B1), and I have a basic knowledge of German (A1) and Italian (A1).
I enjoy coding in Python, have a love/hate relationship with Javascript, however enjoy coding in Elm whenever I can. Think that I’m also fairly good at C, SQL and Java. I am interested in learning different programming languages, and would be fairly excited about any job opportunities if they were to include Rust, Go or C# other than previously mentioned languages.
