I am a software engineer & aspiring comedian based in London, UK, originally from Istanbul, Türkiye.
I am currently working as a software engineer on the GitHub Copilot team at GitHub, where I help build the future of AI-assisted development. Alongside my professional work, I am pursuing a Master’s degree at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford, where I am writing my dissertation on the impacts of agentic workflows on developer experience.
I’m passionate about building products that solve real problems, artificial intelligence, and large language models. I enjoy exploring how AI can enhance developer productivity and create more intuitive software experiences.
Outside of work, my hobbies include video games, cycling, and tennis. I am also a passionate photography enthusiast and welcome opportunities to volunteer as a photographer for charitable organizations.
