• Invented and implemented novel parallel algorithm for training Symbolic Machine Learning models, replacing the solvers built during my Ph.D. work.• The new parallel algorithm in C# improved the efficiency 10-fold compared to the old implementation in Prolog.• The parallel algorithms performance beats the state-of-the-art in inductive program synthesis (ILP).• Tech stack: .Net / C#, Python, Prolog

Uppsala, Sweden

• Applied the Machine Learning tech I developed during my Ph.D. work to Explainable AI, producing human-readable algorithms from black-box pre-trained ML models. Published the results in reputable venues.• Supervised master theses on: Workflow optimization, Patient prioritization, Agile Project Management.• Taught/helped courses on: Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, Agile Methods, Object-Oriented Programming (C#), Internet-Based Systems (Java) and Databases (MySQL).• Tech stack: C#, Python, Prolog, TensorFlow

Uppsala, Sweden

Teaching Advanced Object-Oriented Programming (C#) and Internet-Based Systems (Node.js)

Uppsala, Sweden

• Took over the legacy Machine Learning research and developed modern implementations.• Designed textual and visual languages for ML, and mathematically proved they’re just as expressive.• Ran user studies to show the new languages are easier to use.• Implemented new training algorithms that produce these new representations.• Published the results in reputable venues.• Tech stack: Prolog, Haskell, C#

Participated in various research and teaching activities, teaching Databases (SQL, Relational Algebra), Mathematics for Games, and helping organize a conference.

İzmir, Turkey

Main responsibility in designing and implementing highly interactive realtime web systems. We built multiplayer educational games using Asynchronous HTTP Request Processing on the back-end (C#) and JavaScript + Flash (Flex) on the front-end handling up to 100 real-time users within the same game context and up to ~50000 total users running on a single server.

Dundee, Scotland, United Kingdom

• Helped develop an interactive 3D building designer for the game platform.• Developed a tool for procedural texture generation that enabled artists to describe a texture in a declarative way,so the texture can be generated on-demand for any resolution and any architecture.• Involved programming on entire vertical stack of 3D pipeline, from programming UI elements to GPU code.• Tech stack: C#, DirectX, Perforce, Continuous Integration

İzmir, Turkey

• Lead a small team on developing a web publishing platform with integrated data access layer, localization and authentication, that allows designers to integrate data into the web pages without any programming help.• Tech stack: C#, JavaScript, Oracle SQL, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL.

Development and operation of web sites on LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP).

Phd, Programming Languages, Machine Learning

Designed an improved version of a compositional logic programming language (CNP), and implemented it in multiple host environments.

Msc, Computer Games Technology (Software Engineering)

Implemented an optimisation engine for 3D shapes (meshes). The engine took a 3D mesh, and simplified it to a composition of basic shapes.

Bsc Software Engineering
