Current focus
Local models, fine-tuning and useful software
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
What I’m learning and building right now.
My current focus is turning mathematics into intuition, experimenting with local models, and building small tools around real problems.
Learning now
Turning linear algebra, signals and systems, and model behavior into practical intuition.
Building now
Desktop utilities, local-model workflows, and small products that solve a concrete problem.
What I bring
A habit of looking across software, infrastructure, media, and the way a product reaches people.
Next horizon
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
Projects I’ve built and what they taught me.
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 OmniSpot V1.0
Smart Windows file launcher with global hotkey access, natural-language search, previews, and fast file actions.
LifeLink
Disaster-response mobile app that enables mesh-based communication, SOS workflows, and offline guidance when infrastructure fails.
Aether Defender
Four-level defense game developed for Bandirma University BanuJam 2025, where it placed 3rd.
Mahallem
Community platform for sharing and reviewing neighborhood experiences, developed during Yalova University Hackathon.
FFMPEG Media Processing Pipeline
GPU-accelerated video processing pipeline with multi-language audio extraction and cloud storage integration.
Education
Two campuses, one continuing curiosity.
Computer Engineering at Yalova; a completed Erasmus+ semester in Kraków, with every stop strengthening the mathematical foundation.

Curiosity map
A broad path, with the labels kept honest.
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.
01 FOUNDATION Systems foundations Android recovery menus and Windows reinstalls were my first classrooms. Open field noteHide field note+
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.

02 LONG-RUNNING Web & infrastructure Small sites grew into servers, databases, deployments, and automation. Open field noteHide field note+
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.

03 PAST EXPLORATION Audio, video & 3D Creative tools taught me timing, feedback, and how details change perception. Open field noteHide field note+
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.

04 CURRENT STUDY AI & applied mathematics My current focus connects local models with the mathematics behind signals and learning. Open field noteHide field note+
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.

Have an idea worth unpacking?
Write about a project, an idea, or an interesting technical problem. I am always open to a thoughtful conversation and future opportunities.
