About

I've spent most of my career on the part that comes after the model works. The async services, the retries, the evaluation harness, the deployment. A model that's right once is a demo. Keeping it right on the thousandth request is the actual job, and it's usually where the time goes.

Right now I work mostly on LLM agents: multi-step tool use, retrieval over knowledge graphs, and a lot of unglamorous plumbing to make non-deterministic systems reliable enough to sit inside a business process. Before that I did computer vision on edge hardware for road and rail safety, where a wrong answer at 60 frames per second isn't an abstract cost.

The problems I enjoy tend to have the same shape. Model accuracy is fine; the hard constraint is somewhere else. Latency budgets, inputs nobody cleaned, or the distance between a benchmark score and how the thing behaves on an ordinary Tuesday.

Experience

  1. AI Solutions Engineer

    Oct 2021 – Sep 2026

    innoscripta SE · Germany · Hybrid

    • Built the agentic extraction pipeline behind a knowledge graph of European enterprise data: LLM agents deciding what to pull, NLP models resolving entities, and the results landing somewhere you can actually query.
    • Led three document-intelligence tools to production (invoice, email and timesheet parsers), all past 90% field-level accuracy on documents that are often just a photo of a piece of paper.
    • Wrapped the agents in async FastAPI services so other teams could integrate over HTTP without touching a model. Docker deployments, CI/CD on AWS.
  2. ML Solutions Engineer

    Aug 2018 – Sep 2021

    ISSD Bilişim Elektronik A.Ş. · Turkey · Hybrid

    • Shipped real-time incident detection for tunnels and highways with Intel. Models ran optimized on roadside hardware, since streaming the video to a datacenter and back was never going to be fast enough.
    • Built a 3D container scanner for a port terminal, which raised throughput and cut misreads at the same time.
    • Developed rail-crossing detection with Huawei, flagging vehicles and people in the danger zone while there was still time to act.
