About Me

A Passionate Engineer Who Builds Resilient Systems

I am a Management Information Systems student at Boğaziçi University, currently working as a DevOps Engineer Intern at NGSS. My day-to-day work centers around maintaining high operational reliability, building CI/CD pipelines in GitLab, and provisioning production-grade Linux servers on VMware.

Alongside my infrastructure responsibilities with Ansible, Docker, Zabbix, and Kafka, I independently cultivate advanced skills in Machine Learning & MLOps. I architect end-to-end solutions covering drift detection, model registries (MLflow), automated testing, and scalable microservices.
