I started my education at Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering in Izmir University of Economics in 2012. In my first year, I finished the preparatory program in half a semester and participated in a volunteer internship program in OMSK, Russia, where I taught English to young children. I performed one-month internships in summer in laboratories. Later, I completed my compulsory internship at KentKart. In the first semester of the 3rd year, I attended the ERASMUS student exchange program at Riga Technical University. In my last year, I developed my graduation project with Prof. Murat Aşkar. Our project team came first in the field of academic informatics in the Young Brains New Ideas graduation project competition. I got a job a week after I graduated from school. After working for about 1 year, I started my master's program in the department of Business Informatics at Riga Technical University, where I was in the ERASMUS program. During the master program, I was a data science intern for 5 months at Riga Liquid Studio, the innovation center of Accenture Latvia. At the end of my internship, I was hired as a data scientist. I got promoted due to the high performance I displayed 5 months after I was hired. During the time I worked there, I came in third place in two different hackathons on artificial intelligence held at Accenture Global level. I developed the artificial intelligence, back-end and cloud architecture parts of 3 projects developed for 2 different companies in America and Europe. I received the most innovative project award in Accenture Europe with one of the projects I participated in. Currently, I continue to work at Accenture as an artificial intelligence developer.
