Who

About

I'm Berke — a Master's student in AI for Smart Sensors & Actuators with an Electrical Engineering background. I take models from a rough baseline to something that runs in the real world: full vision-to-actuator loops, YOLO detectors fine-tuned on custom data, LiDAR turned into live navigation. Experience from long-term internships at NISO and Baylan, and an academic–industry project with Fraunhofer IVI.
