I am a senior data scientist, currently working at Kavaken, developing predictive analytics tools for wind turbines. I live in Istanbul and Tekirdağ with my family and our three cats.
My training is in physics, with a PhD in magnetospheric physics. I have taught in various universities for more than a decade, before leaving academia altogether for a career in data science.
I’m a proud alumnus of İstanbul Erkek Lisesi, Boğaziçi University, and Rice University.
This site is mainly about my technical notes. For the interested, I have written a number of pieces in other websites (all in Turkish):
- Yalansavar: Scientific skepticism
- Açık Bilim: Popular science
- Veri Defteri: Data science, machine learning, programming.
- BirGün Gazetesi: Biweekly column on scientific skepticism
- Wordpress Blog: My other personal blog
