- Jun — Jul 2023
VISIOTT Traceability Solutions
Software Engineer Intern
Ankara
- Built a face-detection program with EmguCV and explored face-similarity algorithms based on pixel colour; also researched YOLO usage in C#.
- Developed an object-detection algorithm from scratch, without libraries, to distinguish coins from an image using pixel-level analysis.
- Reimplemented the approach with byte arrays to substantially improve speed, while working alongside the R&D team on image-processing research.
- Jan — Feb 2023
QUAVIS
Software Engineer Intern
Ankara
- Developed a client-side web application using Blazor, with a focus on WebAssembly and .NET.
- Researched client-server web architecture and related technologies while implementing interactive UI and application logic.
- Jun — Sep 2022
Lemona Science
Software Engineer Intern
Ankara
- Built a GUI for live MIDI signal editing and control, including sending transformed signals back to the connected instrument in real time.
- Created a Python NMEA parser that extracts GPS information including longitude, altitude and heading from navigation data.
