Senior Data Scientist | IBM Certified Data Scientist | AI Researcher | Chief Technology Officer | Deep Learning & Machine Learning Expert | Public Speaker | Help businesses cut off costs up to 50%

I'm a passionate Data Scientist with a Ph.D. in Deep Learning (Erciyes University) and a proven track record of delivering business value through cutting-edge machine learning and deep learning techniques.

My expertise lies in extracting actionable insights from complex data.  At Al Jazeera Media Network, I leveraged my skills in Tableau, Google Data Studio, and Python (TensorFlow, PyTorch) to develop a solution that increased audience retention by 15%.

Before that, I authored a research paper on deep learning for medical image classification, published in a prestigious medical journal.  This experience honed my skills in computer vision and deep learning applications.

Beyond technical proficiency, I bring strong leadership qualities. As the former CTO of a digital marketing agency, I led cross-functional teams and developed successful technology roadmaps.

I'm a lifelong learner with certifications in Data Analysis with Python and emerging technologies like Augmented Reality.  I'm eager to leverage my skills in a fast-paced environment to tackle complex challenges and drive innovation through data-driven solutions.
