Hi! I am Öykü, welcome to my portfolio.

I am a

Machine Learning Engineer

I made this portfolio to showcase my skills, projects, and experiences in the field of machine learning. CVs have limited space, so I wanted to create something more informative and expressive. Feel free to explore and learn more about me!

Current interest: ML & AI system design

About Me

I am a Machine Learning Engineer with BSc and MSc degrees in Computer Science from Bilkent University. I have over six years of experience working on end-to-end machine learning systems — from research and modeling to deployment, monitoring, and optimization. I am currently working at the Central Bank of Türkiye, where my work focuses on data-driven modeling for financial infrastructures and real-time nowcasting of macroeconomic indicators.

Case Studies

In this section you will find detailed case studies of projects I have worked on. Each case study outlines the problem, my approach, the technologies used, and the outcomes achieved. These studies highlight my problem-solving skills, technical expertise, and ability to deliver impactful solutions. Also, you can see the system design of each project to understand the architecture and workflow better.

Publications

A selection of my academic work that explores machine learning and computer vision. Entries load automatically from my BibTeX library but you can also view them on Google Scholar with the citations and papers. If you want to access and read the paper send me an email!
