PhD | Full-Stack Developer | AI Research Architect
I am a lifelong learner living at the crossroads of classical heritage and cutting-edge technology. Based in Antalya, Turkey, I bridge the gap between complex data structures and human-centric software solutions. My journey has taken me from assembling Il-76 aircraft in my youth to defending a PhD and now architecting AI-powered research tools.
I don’t just write code; I build systems that preserve and verify knowledge. Whether it’s developing an AI-powered research assistant to combat hallucinations in academic texts or fine-tuning local models on my Mac-based home server, I am driven by the pursuit of technical "Ihsan" (excellence).
- The Academic Core: My background in Sufi studies and Orienatal manuscripts gives me a unique perspective on data integrity and the importance of primary sources.
- The Technical Edge: I am currently obsessed with the "Zoo" of local AI orchestration (Ollama, Gemini API) and high-performance PHP/Laravel environments.
- The Human Side: When I’m not debugging Docker containers, I’m likely running along the Mediterranean, playing a competitive game of chess, or supporting my daughters in their Taekwondo journeys.
I am actively expanding my stack to build more modular, scalable, and intelligent applications:
- Backend Mastery: Advanced Laravel API architecture for mobile ecosystems and CiviCRM/WordPress extension development (PHP & MySQL).
- AI & Automation: Building Telegram Bots with Python and MongoDB, focusing on LLM integration and local model deployment.
- Infrastructure: Containerization with Docker, Git-based CI/CD workflows, and macOS-based server optimization.

I am looking to contribute to projects that require a mix of logical rigor and creative problem-solving. I’m particularly interested in:

I value meaningful professional connections across the globe.
