About: applied experience in enterprise AI

Independent enterprise-AI architect/consultant delivering strategy, RAG/LLM solution architecture, agentic workflow design, LLMOps infrastructure, and AI governance across Turkish and EMEA teams.

Profile sits at the intersection of academic foundation and industry execution: mathematical grounding in ML, deep learning, and NLP from academic research, paired with the engineering discipline of running those systems in production through multiple enterprise engagements. The dual view balances theoretical rigor with production realism.

Vendor-neutral by stance: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, open-source (Llama, Mistral, Qwen), and self-hosted choices are weighed against client constraints. Sector emphasis: compliance-heavy RAG in banking and insurance, contract analysis and risk detection in legal, guardrail-heavy assistants in healthcare, personalization and conversational commerce in retail, SOP automation in manufacturing.

On the publishing and education side, producing Turkish-first enterprise AI content is a deliberate mission: keeping Turkey's AI ecosystem in sync with the global pace requires shared technical vocabulary and reference practice in Turkish. This site is the common roof for articles, glossary, learning portal, and consulting deliverables.
