About

I am a recent Computer Engineering graduate of Istanbul Kültür University — a fully English-taught, ABET-equivalent program — specializing in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Agentic AI, with a core focus on autonomous multi-agent architectures and intelligent automation.

My work spans hands-on R&D in the defense and AI industries, an active freelance practice delivering AI consulting and custom software, and applied research into how autonomous agents establish identity and govern themselves through swarm-intelligence principles.

I've led a university team to a Teknofest national championship, held leadership roles across the IEEE IKU Computer Society, and currently serve as Marmara Region Coordinator for IEEE Türkiye's Computer Society.

Decentralized Digital Identity & Swarm-Based Governance for Autonomous AI Agents

A thesis examining trustless coordination, identity and decentralized governance for multi-agent AI systems that operate without a central authority.

It explores how autonomous agents can establish verifiable digital identities and self-govern through swarm-intelligence principles — a foundation for agentic systems that scale beyond centralized control.
