About

I'm a senior at Tufts University studying Data Science, with minors in Engineering Management and Entrepreneurship, graduating in May 2027. I build machine learning systems end to end, along with the layers that make them trustworthy, reliable, and safe. I speak Turkish and English. When I'm not working with data, I'm usually somewhere with a lot of elevation.

Experience

  1. epoch 1Summer 2025Dubai, UAE

    Trend MicroCyber Security Intern

    • Researched ML approaches for detecting DNS covert-channel communications, a network threat that evades signature-based detection.
    • Contributed to a custom VirtualBox lab environment to test detection scenarios.
    • Analyzed XDR reports and ran simulated threat scenarios, including credential dumping, on Trend Vision One's AI-driven platform.
    • Earned the Certified Vision One XDR Professional credential.

  2. epoch 2Summer 2026Online

    LeverXAI Engineering Intern

    • Engineered an LLM planning agent that decomposes an 11-field intake questionnaire into a four-layer training plan (yearly, monthly, weekly, daily session), exposed via a FastAPI service over PostgreSQL with a browser UI.
    • Enforced structured-output validity through 11+ cross-field Pydantic validators mirrored by matching PostgreSQL CHECK constraints and a retry-with-feedback loop.
    • Authored 74 offline tests covering all validators, exercise filtering, and generator chaining, with no network, database, or API key.
