Senior AI engineer in Istanbul (UTC+3). I build AI agents and retrieval systems that run in production, and the evals that show whether they work.
Now: Founding AI Engineer at Upsonic, an AI agent startup with an open-source framework. I designed and built AgentOS on my own: a platform that runs every agent in its own sandbox on Kubernetes (AWS EKS), with independent scaling and its own secrets; files the agents produce are persisted to S3. Customers install it on their own cluster through a Helm-based setup wizard. I also lead deployments in regulated industries, where models run locally and data stays on-prem.
