Learning now
Turning linear algebra, signals and systems, and model behavior into practical intuition.
Computer Engineering student · Yalova / Kraków
I grew up taking systems apart. Now I build software and explore local AI and the mathematics underneath it.
I study Computer Engineering at Yalova University and completed an Erasmus+ semester at AGH University of Krakow in spring 2026.
I rooted my first phone at ten. The curiosity is still out of warranty.
Profile / now
My current focus is turning mathematics into intuition, experimenting with local models, and building small tools around real problems.
Turning linear algebra, signals and systems, and model behavior into practical intuition.
Desktop utilities, local-model workflows, and small products that solve a concrete problem.
A habit of looking across software, infrastructure, media, and the way a product reaches people.
Shipping an original model workflow, then finally getting closer to kernel development.
Curiosity is the through-line. Expertise is something I prefer to prove project by project.
Selected projects
Beyond the result, each case study explains the problem I started with, the decisions I made, and what I learned along the way.
Project 01 Windows file launcher with fully local search, optional Groq-assisted natural-language queries, previews, and fast file actions.
Disaster-response mobile app that enables mesh-based communication, SOS workflows, and offline guidance when infrastructure fails.
Four-level defense game developed for Bandirma University BanuJam 2025, where it placed 3rd.
Community platform for sharing and reviewing neighborhood experiences, developed during Yalova University Hackathon.
GPU-accelerated video processing pipeline with multi-language audio extraction and cloud storage integration.
Education
Computer Engineering at Yalova; a completed Erasmus+ semester in Kraków, with every stop strengthening the mathematical foundation.
B.Sc. Computer Engineering
2024 → present · B.Sc.
My home campus. Calculus and linear algebra gave my interest in AI a more rigorous mathematical foundation.
Erasmus+ exchange semester
spring 2026 · completed
A completed Erasmus+ semester in a new academic environment, including Signals and Systems coursework that connected mathematics with my earlier audio interests.
Curiosity map
Not every item is a claim of expertise. Some are long-running tools, some are past explorations, and some are what I am studying now.
I rooted my first phone at ten, experimented with custom ROMs, and learned Windows by repairing the things I had changed. System Restore was my Ctrl+Z. That early comfort with unfamiliar menus still shapes how I troubleshoot; writing a kernel remains a future goal, not a current skill claim.
Over time I have worked with shared hosting, VPS environments, PHP and SQL projects, DNS and CDN settings, media delivery, and repeatable scripts. The range matters because it helps me see how a product moves across layers, not because I have mastered every layer.
Music production, video editing, motion work, and 3D experiments came before many of my software projects. Much of that work is not public, so I present the tools and the perspective they gave me rather than inventing a portfolio of missing artifacts.
I am exploring how open models run locally, what fine-tuning changes, and how useful ideas become working software. Calculus, linear algebra, and Signals and Systems coursework are giving that interest a firmer foundation. This is an active learning area, deliberately presented as one.
Playground / 01
Small experiments, notes, and things that exist simply because I enjoyed making them.
A small interactive sketch inspired by my Signals and Systems coursework at AGH. Change the source and watch its time-domain shape and frequency fingerprint respond.
This is a visual learning toy, not a measurement instrument.
