Co-authored a paper on utilising machine learning methods in adaptive control to improve transient responses, published in ACC-2023.
Worked with Prof Sedat Ozer and first authored a paper on synergistic 3D point-cloud completion and segmentation, published in SIU-2021.
ASELSAN - A prominent defence corporation in Turkey Ankara - Turkey
Explored ways to utilise machine learning in optimal parameter selection for signal transmissions under differing noise and jamming conditions.
Fogosoft Ltd - mobile and cloud software development and consultancy services Ankara - Turkey
Trained and compressed semantic segmentation models of varying sizes with TensorFlow. Built a library that allowed easy use of our TensorFlow models on mobile devices.
Implemented a brush feature for fine-tuning of the segmentation masks and used OpenGL to edit the segmented parts with low latency. My contributions led to the development of the app AI cut pro.
Projects
Senior project with a team of five students. I took the initiative to come up with the project idea and epics and assumed leadership roles when necessary.
Mobile application to provide crowd-sourced data labeling and sentiment analysis. Integrated voice chat to let users discuss conflicting answers and reach consensus quickly.
