About

Beşiktaş, Istanbul, Turkey

Profile

I study Comparative Linguistics and Applied Foreign Languages at Galatasaray University in Istanbul, and I'm currently on Erasmus+ at Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha in Spain. I split my time between language and tech: two years at TÜBİTAK working on Abstract Meaning Representation for Turkish, training AI models at Outlier, and building Vizelog, where I help people navigate international applications. Lately I'm most curious about how language actually works and how machines can be taught to understand it.
