I’m a data scientist based in Istanbul and Tekirdağ, where I share my life with my family and our beloved cats.

My training is in physics, culminating with a PhD in magnetospheric physics. For over a decade, I taught at various universities, designing and leading programming courses and guiding students and teaching assistants alike. Eventually, I transitioned from academia to pursue an exciting career in data science.

I’m a proud alumnus of İstanbul Erkek Lisesi (1991), Boğaziçi University (B.Sc. 1996, M.Sc 1999), and Rice University (PhD 2004).

This site is mainly about my technical notes. For the interested, I have written a number of pieces in other websites (all in Turkish):
