👤 About Me

I am an AI Engineer and PhD candidate at Ankara University (Computer Engineering), specializing in Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), and agentic AI systems — with a dedicated research focus on AI security, adversarial robustness, and trustworthy AI deployment.

I design and build production-grade GenAI pipelines — RAG systems, LLMOps workflows, fine-tuned models, and agentic architectures — while simultaneously researching how these systems can be made more secure and resilient against emerging threats.

A background in cybersecurity and NATO-aligned advisory roles gives me an adversarial mindset that informs how I engineer AI: I build with attack surfaces in mind.

"Designing and securing the architecture of next-generation GenAI and agentic systems — driven by deep academic curiosity and research into trustworthy AI."
