Expert AI Engineer with over 7 years of experience scaling enterprise AI solutions across telecom, healthcare, insurance and cybersecurity.

My work spans agentic and generative AI — multi-modal architecture, ML and LLM orchestration, and enterprise governance — alongside the high-performance computing that makes it viable: CUDA kernel engineering and post-training quantization for LLM inference. On the infrastructure side I have built near-petabyte data pipelines, cut costs by up to 5x, and standardised deployment on NVIDIA NGC and Docker.

My MSc research at Bahçeşehir Üniversitesi focused on post-training quantization for efficient inference of large language models on modern GPU architectures. I have authored 7 peer-reviewed papers with more than 150 citations, mostly in computational pathology.

I also write and teach. I am the author of "End-to-End Data Science with Python", have instructed more than 20,000 students across 50 countries, and have delivered corporate training to over 200 professionals. I have been an AWS Community Builder in the Machine Learning category since 2022.
