From field installations to smart city systems, I have brought complex technologies together to operate reliably as an integrated whole. This experience has taught me to see the bigger picture, connect diverse components seamlessly, and develop practical solutions to real-world problems. My current work combines connected devices, desktop software, and web applications with a focus on industrial quality. I am particularly interested in local AI models, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for intelligent access to information, and AI technologies for device management. I develop and field-test these systems through an R&D process supported by rigorous testing, detailed documentation, and continuous improvement. Through this work, I am evaluating how AI, intelligent hardware, and software can operate effectively together in industrial environments. My goal is to complete experimental development and prototype validation, bringing selected technologies to a stage where they are ready for market introduction and development into commercial products. ## Work Experience ### INDEPENDENT SYSTEMS DEVELOPER & CONSULTANT Self-employed · 2017–Present - Develop connected devices, embedded systems, and desktop and web applications, drawing on experience across electrical engineering, automation, and IT infrastructure. - Conduct R&D on local large language models (LLMs), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and AI integration with IoT systems. - Evaluate prototypes through testing, documentation, and iterative improvement, with the goal of developing selected R&D outcomes into commercially viable industrial products. ### FIBER OPTIC & TELECOMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE CONSULTANT Various ISP and Telecommunications Companies · Subcontractor · 2009–2017 - Worked on backbone fiber termination, OTDR testing, Metro Ethernet connections, and base station backbone links. ### FOUNDER & SOFTWARE ARCHITECT Artı Bilişim ve Yazılım · 2004–2009 - Designed integrated solutions involving SAP interfaces, analog data transfer, and energy monitoring, security, and tracking systems for shopping malls. ### IT MANAGER & SYSTEMS ANALYST Tepebaşı Municipality · 1998–2004 - Worked on City Information Systems (CIS) and data consolidation across municipal information systems. - Connected municipal departments through fiber optic and Nortel network infrastructure. ### FIELD ENGINEER & TECHNICAL SERVICE SPECIALIST Various Companies · 1993–1998 - Worked on radio transmitter installations, automation panels, and software for examination results analysis. ## Selected Projects ### Semi-Autonomous AI Workflows & Template Development 2026 Designing and refining reusable workflow templates for human-guided, semi-autonomous AI development.

Beginning along the BOTAŞ pipeline corridor from Aliağa toward Bursa, the work covered site power and cabinet preparation, fusion splicing, OTDR testing, PoP connections, and integration of radio links and base stations. Live traffic was migrated to new links in stages. In Antalya, the scope expanded into urban fiber access, where temporary rings enabled early subscriber access and later served as backup paths. As deployments expanded and additional teams were needed, I shared my field experience through technical training and seminars for more than 60 people.

As the data volume grew, the work expanded into server deployment and a fiber backbone connecting municipalities and public institutions, with routes prepared during ESTRAM construction. The scope then extended to DB2 and Java enterprise applications, municipal business rules, and MIS/GIS integration using NetCad, enabling access to administrative records through mapped properties. My role combined data analysis and migration with server configuration, network infrastructure, field implementation, and integration across the system’s physical, geographic, and administrative layers.
