role: senior engineer & team lead
day_job: making UAVs smart enough to find things humans miss
night_job: lecturing CS students that "it works on my laptop" ≠ deployment
languages: [C++, Rust, Python, Türkçe, English, sarcasm]
currently: convincing a Jetson that a 3-pixel blob is, in fact, a target
sometimes: arguing with GStreamer pipelines at 2am
never: trusting a model that hasn't been quantized in anger- 🛰️ Edge AI on UAV platforms — IR/EO payloads, real-time target detection, the kind of latency budgets that make cloud engineers cry
- 🎯 Classical CV when it's smarter — warp-and-diff motion detection beats a 200MB model when you have 40ms and no training data
- ⚡ Jetson whispering — AGX Orin, Thor, anything with CUDA and a thermal problem
- 🎓 Teaching cloud computing at Atılım University — yes, I feel the irony of teaching cloud while deploying to devices with 32GB of RAM
- 🤖 LLMs where they earn their keep — tactical reasoning, doc extraction, and occasionally roasting my own code
When I'm not arguing with a CUDA kernel, I'm probably on a motorcycle with an action cam bolted somewhere it shouldn't be, or deep in a ComfyUI graph trying to generate something that doesn't have seven fingers.
