Work
Featured case studies first, then public code and course experiments. Every item is labeled by type, so it is clear what was personal, team, or coursework.
01Personal projectWorking prototype
A full-stack AI career mentor that reads résumé inputs, identifies skill gaps, and turns them into a learning roadmap.
Problem Career advice is usually generic. A student can name a target role but rarely knows which gaps matter most or what to build next.
02Team capstoneCompleted capstone · platform concept
A software engineering capstone exploring how optimization could support relocation matching for Turkish civil servants.
Problem In Türkiye, civil servants can relocate by swapping posts with a colleague who wants the reverse move, a process called becayiş. Finding a compatible partner by hand is slow, and the search gets harder once preferences and constraints stack up.
03Team course projectIn progress · Fall 2026
A campus receptionist prototype that explores how people interact with a robot when asking for directions or student services.
Problem Visitors to a university lobby ask the same questions again and again: where an office is, which floor a department is on, who can help with a student service. Staff are not always at the desk.

View code: Course management system (opens in a new tab)Course labs where I practiced a method end to end. They are smaller in scope than the case studies and use course or public datasets.
Course project · NLP
TF–IDF · NMF
Extracted 20 interpretable topics from a large Quora question corpus with TF–IDF features and non-negative matrix factorization.
Course project · Deep learning
LSTM · sliding windows
Trained an LSTM on economic series from FRED using 12-step input windows to forecast the next value.
Course project · Evaluation
Logistic regression · KNN · SVM · tree ensembles
Compared a logistic regression baseline with KNN, SVM, decision trees, random forests, and boosting, using macro F1 so minority classes counted.
Course project · Databases
RANGE · LIST · HASH · EXPLAIN
Partitioned a synthetic 100,000-row table three ways, checked partition pruning with EXPLAIN, and designed vertical fragmentation across two AWS Regions.
Course project · Databases
AQL traversal · shortest path
Wrote graph traversals for recommendations and shortest paths, and compared the model with a document store in MongoDB.
Course project · Cloud
EBS · snapshots · S3 versioning
Resized an EBS volume and its filesystem, used incremental snapshots, restored S3 object versions, and set lifecycle rules with cost estimates.
