Looking for a role in a fast-paced startup
About
I am a recent CS graduate with a Business Minor from the University of Michigan with experience as a Data Scientist at Hepsipay, a fintech startup within Turkey's largest e-commerce platform. I am proficient in SQL, Python, and front-end technologies like React and Next.js. What sets me apart is not just my technical acumen but also the soft skills cultivated at a very early age as a member of the Turkish national tennis team. This competitive background has instilled in me a robust work ethic, discipline, and the ability to perform under pressure. I am eager to leverage this unique blend of technical and soft skills in dynamic startup roles. I am eligible to work in the UK and Portugal without sponsorship
Projects
Write with AI that gets what you write and asks you questions to help expand on your ideas.
A project to help young professionals meet new, interesting people in their cities. Many people struggle to meet new, exciting people while it is only a matter of being placed in a cool setting with someone that matches your energy.
On February 6th, Turkey woke up with devastating news of two massive earthquakes that affected over 10 cities. I built this website the same day to help our efforts of raising money within the University of Michigan community as the president of the Turkish Student Association. This website helped us raise awareness and raise over $10,000.
